deleting temporary internet files

[Dale]

How do I really delete temporary internet files? When I
select files to delete out of the folder they disappear,
but when I look in properties for the temporary internet
files folder, it tells me that there are almost 300MB of
files. I have windows XP. In 98 I was able to just
delete the entire folder and then create a new one, but
XP won't let me do this. Any ideas?

You should be able to do a disk cleanup from MyComputer rt click on
Drive Icon select Properties Disk Cleanup.
Also, IE>tools>internet options>General Delete cookies Delete
Files Clear History.
If you want to try System Mechanic for thirty days free. go here
