Well, I have discovered a little wrinkle in the simple deleting of temporary internet files. Those I can delete by the 'disk clean' method or from 'internet tools', 'options' route. There are two folders within the temporary internet files. One is called 'content.ie5'. The total size of this folder is over 1 gigabite. This folder has sub folders that seem to be named in an increasing random alphanumeric fashion. Many of the files within these folders are 'jpeg', 'txt' and a whole laundry list of other types.

Does anyone know why these are there and is it safe to delete them. I'm running windows 98.

I'm having a cataract removed in a few hours so I probably won't be looking at my computer for awhile. Thanks for any advise.
