Your diagnosis is correct, as is your method of resolving the problem.
However, you do not need to delete these files individually. Simply
map drive Z: to "c:\document and settings\administrators\local
settings\temporary internet files\content.ie5", then type this command:
for /d %a in (*.*) do rd /s /q "%a"
You will, of course, lose your temporary Internet files but then -
who cares?
