Windows 10: The cache for Temporary Internet files doesn't clear in Disk cleanup even after manually...

Then it resets to zero. After that I again set

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

Hi Ramesh,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I get your point, and understood.

So, you mean to say that there is no way to delete the Microsoft Edge Temporary Internet Files?

I have installed CCleaner, but it does not delete/clean Microsoft Edge Temporary Internet Files either.

Any suggestions?

Regards.
