This procedure works for temporary internet files, but did not work for removing cookies. I have hundreds of cookies and do not know how to go about deciding which ones to remove. Also, I have a subfolder titled Content.IE5 in the Temporary Internet folder which contains exactly the same files as the Temporary Internet folder. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to permanently eliminate it?
