does anybody know how to delete all temporary internet files and history files?

i know how to do this through tools>internet options> but there are always still files remaining in the registry and other places,

i want to know how to do this stuff manually, not with a paid program,

thanks,

chris

when you delete all your temporary files through internet options make sure to check delete offline content also if that is wat u want to do. if that does not work then go to a program that uses the standard window s temp directory then go to search enter the directory just as it was and search all files and folders and a big list of files like picture and stuff from websites should be there

That's rather unclear; could you be more specific or give us an example of what you're trying to describe there?

There are a few places where temp Internet info hides:

In C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings you will find History, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders.

In C:\Windows\Temp you'll also find another set of History and Temporary Internet Files folders.

if u want to delete registry files goto run type regedt32 and then look through all the folders marked software and delete any registry entries that belong to uninstalled software but if you want help on deleting reg files you might want to post this under a more specific or different title.

Click on Start.

Click on Search.

Type Temp.

Delete the resulting entries.

Also. jpg picture files take up a lot of room. Type *.jpg.

View the pictures and delete the ones you don't want.

:lol:

There are no 'temporary internet files' in the registry!

Tha advice given by DMR is the most thorough method of removing temporary internet files, and in Internet Options you should also use the 'Clear History' button on the 'General' tab. If you also change 'Days to keep pages in History' to 0 you will have less problem in future.
