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.
