Where do I find cookies in my P.C.?

Question

i only have 22% space left and puter is dragging slower than it should.

is it safe to delete everything in the temp files

Answer 1

Hello. May i make a suggestion. Rather than find the cookies download " Spy Bot Search and Destroy. " This is a free program. I use it all the time. This program will find all your cookies, spy-ware, and other items that are not needed to run your computer. The only downside to this program that i could see, and it will tell you this as well before you delete, if you delete and file that is used by another program that program may no longer function. I have used this for a VERY long time and no such thing has ever happened to me, but the way i see it is if it find something it isn't supposed to be there so why would i want the program...know what i mean?. I hope i helped you and i wish you the best of luck. oh yeah just search for spy bot in google it will find the site you need. take care

With only 22% space left, you may not have enough room to defrag. You don't need to find them to get rid of them. Click, Start, Setting, Control panel, Double click Internet options, delete Cookies, delete Temporary Internet files, Clear history. Set the days to keep History to 0. Click OK.
When done find the directory called Temp where temporary files are stored and delete all of them. To find that directory, Click Start, Search, For files or folders, and in the search box put temp.
Check the options to search in hidden files and folders, because in XP it is in a hidden directory. Then empty the recycle bin.
After you get that done, Click Start, Run, Chkdsk /f(or scandsk /f, depending on your OS) In XP you will have to restart for it to run. After restarting and running that click,Start, Run, Defrag. It will take a long time with your limited amount of disc space so start it at bedtime and it should be done when you wake up.
