Easy Removal of Windows Super Hidden Temp Files

Not really, easy to delete too from another administrator account.

How about this:
You don't install Windows in the first place so you won't need to delete any hidden files. Or use firefox at least!

Calum:
i know it is highly unfashionable these days to say this, but the answer is staring you in the face, install linux, or a BSD, or get a mac. if you are not using windows, you are definitely 100% free of windows hidden files, for good.

and you NEVER hear of these hidden files in ANY other operating system do you? there must be a good reason for that.

Mastertech:
For reasons only known to God my legitimate reply that correctly explains the irrationaly/illogical nature of this thread and with detailed information on how to clean these folders was moved here:

On Windows XP I simply right-clicked on my desktop and pointed to "New" and then "Shortcut." I then entered the full path to the elusive "content.ie5" folder (on my particular system: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5) Now anytime I double click this new shortcut icon, the previously hidden and virtually inaccessible folder pops right up. It's a simple matter to then manually Ctrl+A and delete everything in sight. Then simply back up a level and do the same to all the files in "Temporary Internet Files" and another level to the "Temp" directory.
 
Of course, I also have a batch file that runs on startup to do the same thing as many of you probably do, but I thought I'd post this for those who might want to go in and manually do it from time to time.
 
 
 
Well,that was a great idea in indeed.However,typing content.ie5 in the address bar while i was in the temp. internet folder showed those mysterical folders up ;)
