My temporary internet files folder appears to have no files in it but it's
properties tell me that it's size is 135Mb. Is there a way to see or delete
these files?
 
A better solution is to run Disk Cleanup and delete all Temporary Files and
Empty Recycle Bin simultaneously.

CLick START> RUN
Type in cleanmgr.exe
Click on the 'OK' button
 
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
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.

If you want, try this: Open IE | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab |
scroll down to the bottom | check: Empty Temporary Internet Files folder
when browser is closed | click Apply | OK. Entirely up to you, but if you
want to be rid of this, it is done automatically. Deletes the content of
C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files but not the Content.IE5 or Content.MSO folders.
 
Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) will *not* clean:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5

Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) *will* clean:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files

In short, Disk Cleanup is almost worthless.

Also, you do not have to type: cleanmgr.exe in Start | Run.
Start | Run | Type: cleanmgr | OK ;-)
