20703	2001-10-09 08:30:00	I have a pentium III 450 running win98 and have just upgraded my browser to IE6.0 When I delete my temporary internet files from within the general menu of the internet properties, I find I still have 12 folders averaging about 8mb each as subfolders of the 'content IE5' folder in the 'temporary internet folder'. Why have these not been deleted and can I manually dispose of them?	Guest (0)

20707	2001-10-09 09:10:00	I have recently downloaded and installed the freeware program CleanUp! and have been amazed at the results. I keep my internet files 'tidy' - or I thought I did, but the first time I ran this program it deleted over 28MB of junk from 1161 files. It lives up to its name as it deletes all your cookies, temp files, internet cache, history, etc etc. It will also delete your favourites if you don't uncheck that option so be warned. You can find it at ourworld.compuserve.com Happy cleaning!	Guest (0)
