How to empty "Temporary Internet Files" folder

comp818 · 11-12-2006, 04:29 AM

I need to know how to empty the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. Windows XP won't let me delete it and when i go into the folder, its empty, but when I check its properties, its more than 7GB in size which is taking up a lot of disk space. I really need to empty this folder, but I do not know how as it's not showing any contents in it. I even unhide the contents of this folder but it shows nothing in it. Please help!
