how to delete files

[Guest]

I downloaded something very big, like 2 GB. When I downloaded it, I didn't
pay too much attention to where it was saved. As it turned out, it saved
under documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temporary internet
files. I can't find further path even I chose to show all hidden files and
folders. I can't use it or delete it. Even if I tried the search, it can't
find it. But the used volume of my local drive increased by 2 GB. It is
really a waste of my local drive. Please help me to move it to a folder I
can use or help me delete it. thank you very much

To delete *all* Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | 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.
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 >> C:\Documents
and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files AND
C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\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.

Start | Run | Type: %tmp% | OK |

You will probably have to click the Folders button on the Tool Bar.
Click: [+] Temporary Internet Files
Click: [+] Content.IE5
Click: Random named folders
