Deleted/rsurrected files

[inkleputDEL]

Repeatedly when attempting to download a fresh copy of something a
previously deleted copy will get ressurrected and the download declared
finished when in truth it was aborted and I'm stuck with the possibly bad
file.

If I move the previous file to a scrap directory then delete the
directory, will this stop the fake downloads?

Hi Jim,
You need to be sure that there is nothing in the recycle bin leftover from
the old file/download.
Try to Clean you the Temp from here:
C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\GFXVRTG <- will be in Capital
letter remove this by SHIFT + DEL.

Run a Disk CleanUp on your Drive (C:\) by right click your Partition and
select Properties then Disk Clean up and it will be good if you Defrag, then
try the download.
HTH.

Everthing that you download goes to your Temporary Internet Files folders
first.

To delete *all* of your Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | Click OK
Or right click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop
Or Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options
Best to do this with all instances of Internet Explorer closed. Especially
if there are a large number of files. Also close OE.
2) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
3) Check the box: Delete all offline content {This cleans >>
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
AND
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
and \Content.MSO (Created by an MS Office program)}
4) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the
temporary internet files
5) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that
websites have placed on your hard drive.
6) You can also click on the Clear History button to empty your History
folder.

Note: If you do NOT select the Delete all offline content box, not
everything will be cleaned out.

Content.IE5 is a hidden system folder.

IE 7 does not have a Delete all offline content option.
