C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files

shows 2102 vusible objects
But when i right-click on the folder name and click properties it
shows a total of 27 folders and 186,025 files with 253mg

I cant see these files or folders yet i have the option to show
'hidden" files checked

Where you unhid the files (tools/folder options/view) select to see
protected files.

Tried IE\Properties\General\Delete cookies then Delete Files and putting a checkmark to Offline files also then Clear History.

Have you done these above as described lately?

Don't worry about the numbers, etc. It is sort of a why ask why situation.
This has to do with many factors and facets. For a deep cleaning, use a
third party that includes locked files especially index.dat.

Example being:

Piss off wanker. You are just here to waste others time. You can't see them as you have no reason too.

You were told to tick the offline box - did you do that? You said you did.

Use the option to change the location of the TIF folder, then delete the old folder. You can then change the TIF folder location back to where it was if you want, although it's not necessary.

Log on to the built-in administrator account(or to any account with admin privileges other than the one whose files you want to view). You can then explore (and delete at will) the actual files and folders under 'Temporary Internet Files' for any account EXCEPT the one you are logged in to.
