Re: can not delete strange char file in internet temp folder

Since it's in the Temporary Internet Files folder, you should be able to
delete it in IE, along with everything else in there, by going to Tools >
Internet Options > Delete Files, checking the box labeled "Delete all
offline content", and clicking OK.

The '?' char can not be display here but it shows in file explorer and
command prompt. It is ?(html char). Because of this '?' char the folder
can
not be deleted under the command prompt. What should I do?

Hello!

How can I delete this 070?27_1a[1?.jpg file in internet temp
folder?
It
can not be deleted under the dos. How do I input unicode char from
keyboard?
Thx


Try this in a Command Prompt (which you call "DOS"):

1. Navigate to the parent folder of the problem folder.
2. Type this command:
dir /x {Enter}
3. Make a note of the 8.3 folder name.
4. Type this command:
rd /s /q 8.3_folder name {Enter}
