I am having a hard time understanding why 281KB of files found is showing in Disk Cleanup as 2.92GB. Can someone help me understand what is happening here?

How To Delete Temporary Internet Files And Temporary Files In Windows 10

As I said Disk Cleanup lists Temporary Internet Files only for Internet Explorer, not the one used by Edge.

IE> Tools > Options > Delete. Enable the check box for "Temporary Internet Files and website files", and click Delete.

Are you saying that you completely cleared the Temporary Internet Files cache from Internet Explorer - Options, and still Disk Cleanup is showing up 1 GB for Temporary Internet Files?

Can you post a screenshot?

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

From the time stamp on the files and folder, they appear corresponds to today's CumUpdate. Did you enable 'show hidden files' in View ?

 

Yes show hidden files is enabled.

 

It's probably Edge and it's temporary files are in a different location ...
\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC

You can use WizTree, to make tracking down folder usage a bit easier.
