Windows 10: Temporary Internet Files of Internet Explorer without Internet Explorer itself.

I uninstalled my Internet Explorer long time ago. But each time when I clean my computer with CCleaner I have an entry like this: Internet Explorer - Temporary Internet Files 196,831 KB 732 files What's going on?

:)

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

 

Internet explorer stops!

Go with firefox i never use internet explorer now.

 

Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files.

Edge uses the same temporary internet files locations as Internet explorer and they aren't upgrade files, no.

2GB seems a lot. If you are interested why it is so big next time you run analysis in CCleaner, double click on "Internet Explorer - Temporary Internet Files" line and it will show you all of the files it plans to delete. You can then right click on any of them and take the option "Save to text file". This will make a log file like this (which is from running Edge only and not Internet explorer for 1 minute after last clean): Code:

This log file shows the files it plans to delete and their sizes. You can then see if there are any obvious big files or upload the log file here if it isn't clear. It may contain information you consider private so you should check it yourself first.
