I am running our od HD space so I am cleaning my system. I found a folder
with 2.7 GB that I cannot clean.
The folder is the HISTORY FOLDER in C:\Documents and
Settings\<myname>\Local Settings

When I do a PROPERTIES on this folder is is 2.7 GB.
If I click on it - it appears EMPTY except for an icon called TODAY
I enabled looking at hidden files and it is still empty.

I already did the obvious - clean all IE files etc.

Can someone please tell me what this folder is and if I can free the 2.7 GB
of storage.

Thank you
 
Open Internet Options from Control Panel.
In the General tab, click the "Clear History" button.
Then reduce the "Days to keep pages in history" value.

If that does not help, see the following page to learn how to clear the TIF
and History folders for your user account:
