Clearing Temporary Internet Files in Internet Explorer

Earlier, you learned how to clear your Temporary Internet Files so they will not be a privacy concern. Over time, your Temporary Internet Files folder will fill up again and once again become a privacy concern. One easy way to fix this is to use an interesting hidden feature of Internet Explorer that will automatically delete these files every time you close Internet Explorer. This way, you will not have to worry about clearing all of the files every time you use IE. Follow these steps to activate this great feature:

1. Open up a copy of Internet Explorer.

2. Click the Tools menu bar item and then select Internet Options.

3. Select the Advanced tab and scroll down to the bottom of the screen.

4. Locate and check Empty Temporary Internet Files Folder When Browser Is Closed.

5. Click OK to close Internet Options and activate your changes.

Enabling Automatic Empty is a great way to easily maintain a clean PC. Keep in mind that this will only delete your Temporary Internet Files and not your cookies.
