Windows 10: Temporary Internet Files Path Disappearing from Internet Options

Hi All


Sometimes the path disappears, then to get it back as default, either have to do a temp directory on my second drive, then run app trouble shooter or edit registry to get it back as default. Would this have anything to do with uninstalling Avast 1 time from Windows 10 Pro x64 1809 based PC?



Main Drive Western Digital 250gb SSD, Life left according to Western Digital SSD dashboard 89 percent


and Toshiba 1tb storage drive as secondary storage/other programs



Just wondering before I do decide on maybe removing Avast from 3rd Desktop that is also WIndows 10 1809 based

:)

 

Help !!! delete temporary internet files options are corrupted and freezing

when I try to use internet options or disk cleaner to clear my temp internet files they get stuck in an endless search for the files that has gone 32 hours straight non-stop as of now. all the "just click this button" options don't fix it.

I recall a while back there was a way to go into the files and delete them manually to clear this corruption but I don't remember how

and I have something else strange going on as well. with "show all hidden files and folders" enabled, when I open "C:\Users\karl\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows" there is no temporary internet Files folder there but when I create one (thinking that was the problem) it tells me there is already a folder there with that name yet its not there

I have windows 7 home premium OS

and thanks for your help

 

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

Hi Anup,

Thank you for your reply.

I would respond as follows:

1. No, I have not installed any third party applications to delete Temporary Internet Files or Temporary Files.

2. Yes, as mentioned in my message, I had chcked the relevant boxes for Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files before performing Disk Clean-up. But still the files won't delete.

Your suggestion is about deleting Browsing history. I don't have any issues with deleting Browsing history. It's about deleting Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files. Browsing history can be deleted via Internet Options or from the option available
in the Hub of Microsoft Edge.

Any help on how to delete Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.
