    Disk cleanup: cannot delete temporary internet files


    Disk clean-up shows 500MB of temporary internet files. I check the box to delete the temporary internet files, but it keeps showing 500MB, even after several trials and restarts. This happens on my PC, and also on 1 laptop. However on another laptop I have, the temporary files can be deleted with the disk cleanup. I cannot see what causes the difference between the two laptops.
    I saw some old posts in 2015 on this topic, but did not find a solution yet. Anyone knows a solution now?
    (I wanted to clean out the system before the anniversary update)

    :)

    Disk Cleanup in windows 10 , after anniversary edition , including the creation edition .

    Are you saying that using Edge or Firefox you have no problem going to Disk Cleanup and deleting Temporary Internet Files ? You have to double check - run Disk Cleanup and delete the files , then run Disk Cleanup again and I'll bet the Temporary Internet
    Files are still there and still padlocked .

    How to delete Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files?

    Original title: Disk Cleanup

    When I run Disk Cleanup The Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files do not delete.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Why Doesn’t Disk Cleanup Delete All Files?

    After you’ve used Disk Cleanup, you probably expect every temporary file to be completely deleted, but that’s not actually the case. Files are only deleted if they are older than 7 days old, but you can tweak that number to something else.

    Here's how:

    Note that the issue raised is NOT all temporary files. Rather, it is about temporary internet files.
