Answer 2

There is a utility called Disk Cleanup on all Windows PCs which will remove temporary files from everywhere including IE.

Start / Program / Accessories / System Tools / Disk Cleanup

or for just Temporary Internet Files
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Internet

On IE6 select Settings then Delete Temporary Internet Files
On IE7 select Delete then Delete Files at the top

Deleting Cookies is a drastic measure and should not be undertaken lightly. Your better off using something like
LavaSoft Adaware to remove dubious cookies.

Answer 4

Your browser should provide an option to delete cookies and internet history (if IE then do tools, internet options & delete cookies & internet history), additionally it is possible to navigate to your internet explorer files through c:\windows\temp and then go into the cookies & history files and delete the contents - (leave the folders for safety sake), FYI windows still keeps a hidden history of every webpage ever visited in index.dat - erasing that requires a special method too detailed to explain here.

Answer 5

Have you been looking at naughty pictures? If you download and install Spybot S+D (its a spyware killer) from www.download.com it gives you an option to delete temp internet files and cookies. Its a dead useful program too. Alternatively, dig around in your C drive, they'll be in there somewhere in a folder called 'Temporary Internet Files' surprisingly.
