Disk Cleanup showing 2.9GB Temporary Internet Files

This is what I did today. I am not going to mark it as Solved until I test it more. I have mark this issue as solved; however this is more of a workaround than a solution. I do not what caused this issue or how to prevent it from happening again. This is a treatment of the symptom and not a fix of the root cause.

Open Control Panel and choose Internet Options





Choose Settings





Choose Move folder
Move to a different location and choose OK and OK again.





I moved mine to my E:\ drive.





Sign out/Sign in.

Now run Disk Cleanup as Administrator and choose OK. When it completes run it again to make sure Temporary Internet Files is now zero or very small.





For those that are hardcore and want to move Temporary Internet Files back to the default location:
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache do not waste your time using the above procedure.
You will end up with this:
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Temporary Internet Files as the location. Windows for some reason always appends whatever location that you choose with \Temporary Internet Files.

Use this solution here.
