Temporary Internet Files, 2 Locations, Why

I found 2 locations for Temporary Internet Files:

my-profile: \Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files
my-profile: \Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Why 2 locations?

When I use WinXP Disk Cleanup utility, only the \Temp\Temporary Internet
Files folder is cleaned out.

Search your registry for that path string. If you don't find it, it can be
deleted.

You may have moved the TIF folder. Check where the TIF is located and which
one is being used by using the Internet Options applet in the Control Panel.

Internet Options Settings button ( under the Browsing History section in
the General tab).

Now you should see where the TIF is located. You can move the TIF folder
back to \\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" by using the Move button.
Once this is accomplished then you can remove the "\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files" folder.

I wasn't asking how to delete, I was asking _WHY_ 2 locations?

Your Profile became corrupted, and IE built a new cache.

You may have missed, not not received an error.

Everyone, and I mean every reply so far, seem to misunderstand my question.

So one more time...

WHY are there 2 locations (folders) for "Temporary Internet Files?"

NOT how to delete/empty/clean-out.

To state the question another way, what is the reason for 2 folders labeled
"Temporary Internet Files?"

FWIW, *I* understand your question - I just don't know the answer. Here's a
funny thing - for ages I've wondered about this myself, and after reading
your post I checked to see if my "extra" folder was in the same path as
yours, and now I'm darned if I can find it! I've just got the one now.

It never, ever populated, it just sat there, index.dat never increased in
size, nothing. And now it's gone. One thought - have you ever installed a
different browser?

HTH Tony.

As far as browsers, work & home are the same.

But now that I've checked, at home I have only one location....

profile~~~\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

.... and no \Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files

Humm. When I get to work I'm going to try deleting the folder under
\temp. After checking Registry entries.
