Title: temp folders and internet files
Post by: Starforce2 on September 10, 2011, 12:01:04 PM

does anyone know where temporary internet files is in win 7? I tried file search but that pops every file who's path contains temporary (ugh) and the old windows "temp" folder as well from xp..where are those files in win 7?

they are in appdata. you may want to also un hide hidden folders.

rly though you shouldn't care as long as you have ccleaner.

well if I control-refresh my gift page works (for a while) on facebook for the games..but otherwise gifts don't seem to go away once accepted..figured it might be a temp file issue. Going to try a little manual deletion.

I see the temp folder but not the internet files.

Though i do have 1.5gigs of history journal in the chrome folder...might explain why it takes forever to get a save dialog for a image in chrome..some large index file.

it also depends on the browser being used.  IE was the only one I'd play with if I wanted to check files out.  i know Firefox and Opera hide their caches.

the cache folder for firefox is in its profile folder... just need to let hidden folders to be shown.

Windows Vista/7: C:\ Users\ (Your Username)\ AppData\ Local\ Mozilla\ Firefox\ Profiles
(firefox also has it's own menu where you can tell it to clear the cache upon exit.)

i usually run disk cleanup and it takes care of all that. just unhide all folders like neb said and it SHOULD pick it up for deletion... it does for me.
