"When I checked the properties of the folder it showed 72 MB, but no files are visible in the folder even though the show hidden files option is activate in the IE settings. Any ideas of what to do, without reinstalling the system software."

That 72mb is the index.dat file. It is a hidden and system protected file and can't be deleted in windows but can be cleaned out using CCleaner. CCleaner can also cleanup a lot of other crap. In ccleaner don't run the Issues applet unless you know what you are doing.
Download / install / run:
CCleaner
