None of the below mentioned items delete all of the TIF. They may
appear to be delete, put when you check the properties of the TIF
folder it still has a size over 8 meg.
They only way I have found to delete the TIF files is to set your
computer up with a shared drive. Then access the computer across a
local area network with a Windows 98 computer(xp will not work). You
can then browse to the TIF folder with the Windows 98 machine and
delete the TIF files. I have the size of the TIF set to a max of 4
meg. This doesn't work either.
