How to Delete "Stubborn" Cookies/Temporary Internet Files from a Second Hand Laptop?

  • I recently purchased one cheap ("As Is"), second hand laptop for my children. I have just noted (viewing the content of the "Temporary Internet Files and History Settings") it came with a number of "cookies" and temporary Internet files from adult/sex websites that I want to DELETE (mostly JPEG and GIG images, HTML documents, Shockwave Flash Objects, JScripts, icons, PNG files, cascading style sheet documents, etc; all from adult/sex websites). Also, in "History", under "Most Visited", there are some more addresses of the same nature that I want to delete. Although I have succesfully deleted many of these cookies/temporary files by right-clicking on them and then executing "DELETE", there are some stubborn ones that cannot be deleted by this procedure. Since I am NOT savvy on computer/IT matters, I would appreciate if you could help me with a DETAILED, STEP-BY-STEP procedure to delete ALL of these unwanted cookies/files. Many thanks for your helpful hand, fellows!

  • Answer:

    Start by running "disk cleanup" This program is under Program Files ---- Accessories--- System Tools --- Disk Cleanup. Run it, it will clean ALL temporary files. Then once that is complete --- it may take some time Open Interent explorer and clear the history folders. (Tools--- Intenet Options-- Clear All the tabs) That will do it.
