How can I delete all the temporary Internet files from my computer?

FREE Active Directory Management Software

Active Directory Management Software will be part of Spiceworks’s 5.0 release in Sept 2010. Spiceworks’ Active Directory will let you manage user accounts and passwords, link devices to specific users, and view all help tickets opened by a specific user. All for free!

Download Spiceworks 4.7 now, and you’ll be automatically alerted when Spiceworks 5.0 is available - and it will still be free!

Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to:

  1. Start the browser, select Tools > Internet Options.
  2. Go to Advanced.
  3. Go to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

Note: There are many 3rd Party Tools that will do this for you. I'll compile a list of some of the most useful ones in the near future.

This tip will work for Win98, NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.
