Where is located Temporary Internet Files folder?

The location of the Temporary Internet Files folder depends on the version of Windows and whether or not you are using user profiles.

  • If you have Windows Vista then Temporary Internet Files are in these locations (note that on your PC they can be on other drive instead of drive C):
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\
    Note, that you will have to change the settings of Windows Explorer to show all kinds of files (including the protected system files) in order to access these folders.
  • If you have Windows XP or Windows 2000 then Temporary Internet Files are in this location (note that on your PC they can be on other drive instead of drive C):
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
    If you have only one user account on Windows XP or Windows 2000 then replace <username> with Administrator to get the path of the Temporary Internet Files folder.
  • If you have Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows NT or Windows 95 then index.dat files are in these locations:
    C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\
    C:\Windows\Profiles\<username>\Temporary Internet Files\
    Note that on your computer the Windows directory may not be C:\Windows but some other directory. If you don't have Profiles directory in you Windows directory don't worry - this just means that you are not using user profiles.

You can use Mil Shield to clean the content of Temporary Internet Files along with index.dat files, history, cookies, cache and many other tracks.
