I bet you MVP folks thought this would be an easy "folder Options"
question. I have _all_ the setting in explorer options set to slow
everything and not hide anything, system-wide and on the temp folder
and subfolders.
I ran perfectdisk and looked at the "most fragemnted files" list and
found a 60MB file in
\administrator\local settings\temporary internet files\
I recognized the file and know I don't need and decided to blow it away.
I can't.
It's in \Content.IE5\.... Which is invisible to File Explorer.
I drilled down in FIle Explorer and it shows me NO folders inder
\temporary internet files\. If I look at properties for this folder
it shows me that 60MB is in use (I deleted everything else).
It does not show the COntent folder.
In CMD I drilled down to \temporary internet files\ and if I do DIR *
and it shows zero. I can CD to ContentIE5 and DIR will show me folders
and files.
I can't delete these files or folders (access is denied).
I have no applications running. Obviously IE is always running. PITA.
WTF ?
Here's a little more info. The 60MB file happens to be an Acrobat
"ebook" that I checked out of my library, as an experiment. I assume
it's encrypted and time-stamped to expire, but I should still be able
to delete it.
FWIW I have no acrobat process (that I recognize) running.
What's going on ?
Thanks
