Avoid Temp folders wasting space

The Temporary Internet Files folder on your system takes more hard drive than specified in the configuration.Amongst,other things because leftovers of files remain there even though you have emptied all the contents via the 'Internet Options' dialog box.You can quickly solve the problem described above by moving the Temporary Internet Files directory to the original location.First step is create a new folder and in "Internet Explorer" open 'Tools/Internet Options'.In the 'General' tab click 'Settings' and 'Move Folder' under 'Temporary Internet Files'.Open the newly created folder and click OK.When windows ask you to log off,click 'Yes'.Then log on to the system again and close all dialog fields with OK.In the 'Windows Explorer',now delete the old folder 'Temporary Internet Files' and at the same time storage location create a new folder with the same name.Then repeat the steps described in the beginning and shift the storage location for 'Temporary Internet Files' back to the old location.

The problem that I described above can occur due to variety of reasons.For example,you may have downloaded the contents of website only partially.This happens when you click Stop when site is loading or when you open another site before a site opens completely.This also happens when you download streaming videos with the ActiveX control element "Axis CamControl".And last but not the least,some files can be hidden in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder which are used by other processes or are protected in some way.
