I am using Windows 7 and IE 10.
I happened to check the size of Windows' Temporary Internet Files folder after "deleting" TIF's through IE>Tools>Internet Options. The folder contains 379m of data in 1,890 files & 91 folders. This despite the fact that I have cleared it multiple times and I allow a maximum of 250m anyway. Surely my passwords and history don't take up that much space.
Can Microsoft provide or direct me to an explanation of how this folder works, why it might retain so many files, and how I can delete these files & folders?
