IE 5 Internet cache growing How do I delete?

E

Ebbtide

I recently ran a program called PCPitstop and it told me that my internet
temp files cache is at 115 even though I have my computer set for maximum of
75MB. I also ran "registry mechanic" and it comes up with 5 errors for my
window/internet cache files for IE5. I have IE6 on my computer now and would
like to get rid of these files but don't know how. "Registry Mechanic" says
it fixes the problems but when I rerun it they are listed again.

Any help will be appreciated.

To delete *all* 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.
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.
