My hard drive is almost completely full due to not being able to access local settings\ temporary internet files. when I go to Windows Explorer, local disk C: \ documents and settings\ username the local settings folder doesnt appear. I can see the folder through the windows explorer in my cd burning software, B's Gold, but I am unable to do anything but move them , I can't delete them. I have used disk cleanup and delete temporary Internet file in Internet options but the files remain . any helpful ideas?

Tried Internet options> temporary Internet files> delete and check the box for offline content> ok?

It suddenly struck me that you need to go to folder options> view and make sure that you unhide the system' s hidden files.
