Hi Patti,
In Explorer, you're seeing actual folders under that Content IE5, but
they won't show their true contents under normal conditions. Instead, they
act as a virtual folder and show every file they can find under a number of
other 'internet related' folders. For instance, by clicking on them
individually, you'll find cookies mixed in with all of the files inside ALL
of those 27 subfolders (bearing names like N59R8GS).
To REALLY see what's in each subfolder, right click on one and choose
Search or Find (depending on your OS). After running the search, I'll bet
you'll find that most of them are empty. If you find any that do NOT have a
desktop.ini file included in the results, you can safely delete the entire
subfolder. When you're finished with all of them, I expect there to be only
4 or 8 folders remaining. To save you a lot of time, look for the
desktop.ini file first. If it's not there, delete the folder and be done
with it. 8^)
Peace,

I have a query about the Temporary internet Files directory. There is a
sub-directory named Content IE5 which in turn has 27 directories. On
checking them they are all filled with the same files. All empty out when I
delete but the directories stay.
Should I delete these as well?
