There have usually been four sub-folders (named with seemingly random
letters and numbers) and an index.dat file. Because I view a lot of
confidential financial information online, I want to shred the TIF
instead of the less secure delete. I tried CCleaner, but that still
left some files recoverable. I then tried Eraser but, after using
that application, I no longer have the four subfolders nor an
index.dat file. All of the temporary internet files are now in the
pathname shown above. All seems to be working well; is it OK to be
without the four subfolders as well as no more index.dat file? Or,
are they just not visible. I have to change the view to allow hidden
as well as system files to be able to see the files and run Eraser.
Thanks!
You'll be fine without the folders and without the .dat file. YOu should
have no adverse reactions at all. Such things will be recreated, BTW, so
dont' be surprised.
