My disk space has steadily dropped by 400 MB over the last few months and I couldn't figure out why. I always delete my internet files, cookies etc. in explorer. So I went to my c drive, right-clicked on all the files, clicked properties and recorded the used disk space from each folder. Today my total disk space dropped by 10 MB. I checked each folder's properties and found that "documents and settings" has changed by this amount. In this, the only folder that uses up a lot of space is "local settings" which is using 460 MB, and the only folder in this using up a lot of space is "temporary internet files" with 5311 files and 9 folders for 453 MB. but when i double-click it, it's empty. However, if i click on "folders" I see that under temp internet files, theres another folder called "contents" and in it are 8 other folders with tons of files from websites i visited months ago. is this the cause of my drop in space? Why didn't these files get deleted? is it safe to delete them all?
