    Temporary Internet folder

    In my Temporary Internet folder, there is a sub-folder named, Content IE5, in this folder are 16 more folders named with numbers & letters, and 2 files: desktop.ini, and index.dat.

    When I tried to delete the Temporary Internet folder all was fine, then I tried to delete the Content.IE5 folder and recieved this message:



    Do I delete or not? That is the question.
