    Disc Cleanup Broken on Clean Windows 10 Pro Install

    Disc Cleanup Utility is not removing Temporary Internet Files.

    Tried Internet Options method and Disc Cleanup method.

    Folder is visibly empty (Show hidden checked, Hide Protected unchecked) and the only things in the folder are multiple folders and container.dat files but Disc cleanup still shows 290k in files.

    Any help?

    BTW this is my Temp folder location (does it seem right?)

    C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE. That's the folder that is pointed to when I select view files.
