I cannot delete the Temporary Internet Files Folder using
the method described here
(http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm).

When I access the folder using my Administrator account,
there is a folder called IE.5 that I cannot delete.

Any idea on what to do next?

You may have to login as another user with administrative privileges. Or,
possibly even, create a new user with administrative privileges. You can't
delete your own History folder. It's "in use."

Yes, I've already done all of that. I still can't delete
the Temporary Internet Files Folder using that seperate
Administration account. What should I try next?

Has the account whose TIF you are trying to delete been logged off?

Yes, there is only one user on this computer. Me. So I
definitely logged off.

What next? Why can't I delete the Temporary Internet Files
Folder? And the file called "Content IE.5" in particular?

If you clicked Start | Logoff for your regular User I don't know what's
wrong.

the ... manually delete ethe contents of each folder....
