Here's my problem:
Today I did a quick check and found that I had only 3gb of space free on an 80gb partition that was installed fresh only a month ago. I did some checking to see what was taking up all the space and finally tracked it down to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 and more specifically in the sub-directory \ONQDCJUB. The entire directory was filled with files that were all named as single character ASCI characters such as "v", "=", "-" and "w". None of them have an extension and there is duplicates of some of the files. It was these 286 files that was sucking up to 800mb each for a total of 21.5GB.
From the research I've done, these are the compiled archives of everything I've surfed over the past month. And I can't delete them. ACCESS DENIED
I've tried booting into another WinXP partition but I still got the old ACCESS DENIED problem. I've tried editing the files name/extension so that I can then delete it but each time I get an error "Invalid Filename".
I've also tried booting into DOS using a Win98se boot disk. After navigating to the directory (hard because DOS couldn't see the directories and I had to type them from memory) and trying to delete the files, I got an error "The file cannot be found". I've tried using RD but that won't work because the directory isn't empty and I can't use Deltree because that command isn't recognized for some reason.
So ya, I'm stuck with 21.5GB of crap and I can't seem to do anything about it. I need a program or maybe even another OS that I can use to just select and delete this damn directory.
Thanks so much guys, you're my only hope
