    Thanks for the replies but most all of these answers I am doing. The problem seems to be the padlock icon that insinuates that these Temporary Internet files are "locked" and cannot be removed! I am discouraged by Microsoft that someone from there has not
    addressed this issue and posted an answer.

    Thanks again to all who responded, Dave

    Thanks Kyhi. Tried that 3 times. Didn't work. I now have 520 GB.

    I would not worry about 520KB as most likely system type files that can not be deleted, by system
    You where 5.09GB before > so BIG difference there

    Try running disk clean with administrator privileges.

    It was a typo. I should have said 520 GB.

    Disk Clean up tool

    UnCleaner is amazing, I run it every time after large disk cleaning, large file deletions, program uninstallations (even with Revo), in same cases it removes even a GB or more. Windows "abandons" some files after some time and UnCleaner catches them (or some of them) and cleans them.

    These settings affect what CCleaner does.
