Thank you I will check that ccleaner out. I realize it's not much
space being used , and any additional files that get added to it
always delete , but there is always 10,950 kb that will always
remain.I'm not sure what caused windows explorer to do that.I have
dial up internet , and it wasn't connected at the time , and my son
clicked the explorer icon, and it keep searching for a connection , i
would close the page and 5 more would open , and it just keep going ,
it took 20 min to get them all closed. now i mainly run firefox for
my browser , cause explorer just gives me grief..it won't open, and
if it does i can't get it to close . So i don't use it unless i
absolutely have to. "Gerry" wrote:

cCleaner (freeware) which does a more thorough job than Disk CleanUp.
Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user profile, whereas cCleaner
only needs to be run once.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one
has irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.

The compressed file has never had that high of content , and always
emptied the file when disc clean up was done leaving it at 0 kb ,
until a couple months ago when internet explorer went mental and
opened a hundred home pages over and over. It had 200,000 + at that
time , i got it down to 19,000, then manage to get the amount down
to 10,600 +. Now it is slowly increasing to the 10,900+ it is now ,
and will not empty like it SHOULD.

What can i do to get rid of those files ?

You boob... that listing is FOR COMPRESSING older, lesser-used
files, NOT for removing them. Compressing them gains you some
space.
