Delete temporary Internet files

Windows 2008 R2
Win 7
Win Xp
Under "user config\preferences\windows settings\folder" Created 2 folders to delete Temporary Internet files with with 1 targeting Windows 7 and the other targeting windows xp.
Here the the path for windows 7: C:\Users\%localappdata%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
Here is the path for xp: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
However, temporary internet files not being deleted. Are my paths correct and are my enviroment variables correct. thanks

> XP:
>
> %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
> W7:
> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
>
W7: %LocalAppdata%\Microsoft\[and so on...]
Smartest solution: Use Item Level Targeting on the content of a registry
value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders:Cache
Put that content in a variable and use this variable as target path for
your folder ;-)
Works on each OS that supports GPP.
But things may get hard when deleting the "Low" folder - so why not
simply use

NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
Good or bad GPOs?

  • Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders

    Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders. Message occurs that file cannot be deleted.

    Are you trying to delete files from your Time Machine backup?  Don't do that!! If you have files/photos you wish to delete then delete them from iPhoto or whatever photo application you are using. They will be removed from the backup by the TimeMachine backup system. Your backup is not a simple file it is a time/event dependent organizational picture of your system sort of like a multilayered transparent collage, but if you start pulling random pieces out it will collapse the file system.

  • How do I manually delete temporary internet files, and if I delete them on IE are they also deleted onFirefox?

    I know how to delete cookies on firefox but have not figured out how to delete temporary internet files. I can do it on IE, does that do the job or do I have to delete TIF's on firefox also?

    The equivalent of temporary internet files on Firefox is the cache. For details of how to clear it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    Clearing TIFs in IE will not clear the cache in Firefox.

  • I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

    I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

    The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
    If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).

  • Deleting Temporary Internet Files and Cookies

    Hello
    I'm new to the world of Macs and am puzzled by this issue. On WinXP there is a way to delete the masses of temporary files that accumulate when browsing on-line. Is there a way to do this on a Mac? I cannot find anything about this in any of the books on Tiger I possess and my pal who encouraged me to get the G5 hasn't "even thought about it!" Does it happen automatically (as does Defragging, so I read) or isn't it an issue with MacOS's?

    Thank you so much, maclover. I'm extremely impressed by how quickly my query has been answered. And your warm words of welcome are appreciated.
    I have to say that my introduction to Macs was rather fraught. My Powermac behaved most oddly when I set it up. I assumed it was my inexperience that caused it to respond to opening Photoshop by telling me "This server is not available or doesn't exist"! or show its infuriating rainbow wheel in permanent motion when I clicked on iPhoto, and many other quirks. My mac-using friend was aghast at what mine got up to and I went back to my (fairly) reliable pc. But a re-install of the system discs effected a miracle cure and I'm completely at home with the gear now. When I read the very partisan "Macs are wonderful, Windows pcs are rubbish" in certain magazines I do think back to how close my Powermac came to being kicked across the room. A brand new machine from the Apple Store shouldn't have been like that.
    Now I've got that off my chest I can only thank you again
    Regards

  • Temporary Internet Files

    I am new to this forum and new to MAC. I have a used PowerBook G4, with MAC OS 10.4.7. My issue is this, the other day I got a notice that I only had a minimal amount of Memory left, even though I have not downloaded anything and I do not create documents that take up a large capacity of space. My roommate who sold me the MAC said something about deleting Temporary Internet Files, I know how to do this on a PC with Explorer, but this computer doesn't have Explorer. I don't know what the deal is. I deleted a large bit of info, mainly all my iTunes to get back up to more than 2GB, well in just two days of only being on the internet and nothing else, I am down to 1.5GB. Where is my memory going and how do I get it back? Can anyone help me. I would really appreciate it. If you could send me your responses to my email address~ [email protected] Thank you for all the help you can provide!

  • Where do i find temporary internet files and how do i delet them

  • How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

    (Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
    Hello,
      As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook.  There are two major problems with this:
      First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
      Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location.  This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
      We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks.  But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location? 
      Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As?  That's where I would start looking.  Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

  • Temporary internet files and track pad

    hi there.
    I purchases my macbook on black friday. I love it. I used one about 14 yrs ago..and some things have changed. it is much easier to navigate.
    I have a few questions. I will try to put them in the correct forums.
    temp internet files
    1. does make have temporary internet files and cookies like PCs do. DO you need to delete them like you need to on a PC? If so, how is this done?
    trackpad
    2. on my tablet, I could tap on my trackpad to where i want my cursor to be. When I am using my mac, I have to click on the left click . Is there any way to do this by tapping on the track pad?
    thanks for your help

    Should it go gray after you first empty the caches as you just emptied it and there should be nothing left to empty?
    No. It'll remain selectable (in black) regardless of the state of the cache.
    Also is there a folder that contains the files, so that you can physically view if there are any that have not been delieted.
    Yes there is…
    ~/Library/Caches/Safari
    … where ~ means your home directory.

  • After downloading PSE 13, receive error message cannot open windows temporary internet files

    After downloading Photoshop elements 13, I receive an error message as it tries to open (but instead opens my PSE 9 application) and this message appears:  "cannot open C:Users\Spears\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.1E5\AV8ZNMD1\Photoshop Elements_13_LS25_win64.7z"
    I have been trying various fixes to download this for 2 days now.  Can someone please help me?
    Thanks!

    Did you check if the Firefox file is in that location?
    If it isn't there then do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    If the file is there then do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • How to clear the cache files in folder Temporary Internet Files

    When one user opens files such as pdf. or doc. from Portal,  the same file will be downloaded into the Temporary Internet Files folder. if another user copied the files out of the Temporary Internet Files folder from this computer and save to someplace else, then we face one security problem.
    So my question is: How to clear the cache files in folder Temporary Internet Files??  Can we delete the files automatically when close the files in Portal??
    or is there some ways to make encrypty???
    Thanks very much!

    Hello,
    this is a basical security problem which should be resolved by the OS standard security setup . No other user should have access to the temporary file folders in the personal directory. The user account must be secure. Normaly your security problem should not be a problem if basic security exists on the clients.
    You can resolve this problem if every user has his own account on the client
    The users having no administration permissions on the clients
    The folder for the temporary internet files is placed in the personal profile folder of the user account.
    On default no other user has access rights to you personal folder, this means the client OS is setup correctly.
    You can setup the IE that no temporary files are saved (but it reduces performance)
    You can enable IE to delete automaticly the temporary files if IE is closed.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards
    Alex

  • Why does FF use the IE Temporary Internet Files directory?

    I have used Firefox exclusively as my browser for the past 6 months. Recently, I checked my "Temporary Internet Files" folder, where IE stores visited pages, and found it full and up to date, even though I had deleted everything in it when I started using FF. Why is Firefox storing data in here? Please note: On my computer, I have set up the "Temporary Internet Files" as the IE cach folder...IT IS NOT THE FF CACHE FOLDER. Thanks for any help.

    [[How to clear the cache]]
    Putting 'about:cache' into the navigation bar will show you some basic information about the cache.
    Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory Browser.cache.disk.parent directory] for more information.

  • Temporary Internet Files (Vista)

    Where are the Temporary Internet Files in Vista.
    I've been updating flash files on the web but my browsers
    keep loading the
    original files (same file names)
    In Win XP Almost everything browsed on the web was downloaded
    to
    C:\Documents & Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary
    Internet Files\
    But I cant find the Vista equivalent. If I look in the
    Temporay Internet
    Files folder that is accessed through Vista's Internet
    Options panel, all I
    find is cookies. If I use the Delete Temporary Files button
    in Vista it
    doesn't seem to change anything.
    I just keep getting the original Flash in the browser. Where
    is the web
    content downloaded to?

    You can find the location of the cache on the about:cache page (open that page via the location bar like a website).<br />
    Only large image and media files are stored as individual files on disk.<br />
    Other files are stored in a few large container files (_CACHE_XXX_) in the cache folder and not as separate files on disk.<br />
    The individual files on disk have random names without a file extension for security reasons: you can't open an application or start a downloaded virus inadvertently by clicking a file in the cache folder.<br />
    You can look at this extension for easier access to files in the cache.

  • Windows Disk Cleanup Temporary Internet Files for FireFox?

    Hi guys. When I run Windows Disk Cleanup there is an option to delete 234MB of Temporary Internet Files. I don't use IE so are these FireFox temp files?

    Plugins from MS like Windows Media Player and Silverlight use the IE Temporary Internet Files and Cookies folder, so you may be seeing files from those plugins. You can check those folder to see which files are in there to verify this.
