How big is your Temporary Internet Files folder?

1

I just noticed my temp folder has 12,383 files in it and consumes 166mb of my disk space… So, how big is yours? :stuck_out_tongue:

2

I clean it up like every week from now.

The first time I did disk cleanup - it gave me back a gigabyte :thumb:.

3

Mine is 169MB and it contains 14,955 files. I bet half of the 169MB came from looking at SOTW entries haha :stuck_out_tongue:

Sharif: whoa, that’s extremely big… before you cleaned it, that is :wink:

lol @ kirupa :wink:
hasn’t you got school-stuff to do? :stuck_out_tongue:

5

I’ve been out of school for 3 weeks now :stuck_out_tongue:

6

last time I did a disk cleanup was like a year ago :ne:

7

We finished last week on friday :slight_smile:

8

Mine’s only 20MB, but that’s because I’m crazy about disk space and clean it at least once a day.

9

Mine is cleaned every time I start up the web brower, so there’s probably about five files in there right now.

10

same here.

Well do I have a story to tell :!:
I cleaned my Temporary Internet Files out way back. Well that’s what I thought but Microsucks keept some secret log with IE (I had stop using IE a while earlier) that explorer could not see. But when I when to the addressbar and added /content.ie5/ to it, there was about 16 more folders in there. I only checked one of them and it had like ~1500000 files in it.:scream:

So I started deleting them all, I spent a sunday doing that. At the end I got [size=5]9gigabyte [size=2]more space on my C. The worst is the this wasn’t my [/size][/size]Temporary Internet Files but some stupid log!?!
[size=5][size=2]
So burn IE:bad: Long live FireFox :party:

[/size][/size]

Yup, that’s the secret IE temp folder :wink:
But geeeeez - 9 gig? that’s harsh! Boooooourns M$

13

Firefox is bad in my book because it’s visibility property through javascript is broken :frowning:

but I have 4,480 files

14

it seems that ad-aware deletes em all :-p or sumthing along those lines… I only found 5 files :slight_smile:

oops i double-posted :-\

15

i haven’t emptied mine since I had to reboot my whole system, which was like 2 years ago. Their is something like 22,000 files. :slight_smile:

16

5.3 gig… :stuck_out_tongue:

17

i clean mine like once or twice a day. i’m sort of compulsive w/it. i limit it to 20 mb, but it never gets that high.

18

Master64, what is the path to that directory?

Is it:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

?

19

yup

that what i did.
Well that only works in XP and 2000 i think the MS os’s that don’t have DOS any more. The older one’s you have to do it throw DOS.:slight_smile:

i limit the storage to 10mb. Although if you increase it, you would be able to store more of course but its a pain when you actually want to empty it.
