englishmen Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 1: Are you sure the tick box next to Temporary internet files is ticked? 2:If yes to 1 then try adding the folder to "Custom Folders" in "Options" and see if that works. 3:If you have done both 1 & 2 then I have not got a clue. Maybe CCleaner is removing the files but windows is recreating them so when you browse to the folder it looks like CCleaner has not removed them.

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted June 23, 2005 Moderators Share Posted June 23, 2005 You should get something like this: Details of files deleted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IE Temporary Internet Files (42 files) 0.15MB Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\TwistedMetal\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\TwistedMetal\Cookies\index.dat Marked for deletion: C:\Documents and Settings\TwistedMetal\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\index.dat Marked for deletion means you must restart your computer in order for the index.dat to be deleted. Once you run IE the index's.dat are recreated. I hope this answers your question.
