Internet Explorer:
Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files, coz that deletes all your Temporary Internet Files too, I think it&#39;s easier, but, that may not delete your KLite Temp files... IDK [/b]

Normally, they don&#39;t show up and aren&#39;t accessable with explorer, and clearing your temporary internet files folder won&#39;t delete them.

Yeah, I&#39;m pretty sure doing that won&#39;t clear all files from your temporary internet files folder and doesn&#39;t touch Kazaa&#39;s preview files.

so, what exactly am i looking for in these folders?

The preview files will have the same name as the file that was previewed, but with &#39;%20&#39; in place of spaces.

Windows washer will delete it for you[/quote]I&#39;m sure it and other tools will clean them just fine, but it never hurts to know how to clean it manually.

i found the files and stuff but they wont delet u got any clues on deletin them

[DrSpud]

me=D: If the file you&#39;re trying to delete is still open in Kazaa&#39;s theater, it won&#39;t delete. Either close Kazaa or play another file in theater. If the files are avi&#39;s, however, then the reason they won&#39;t delete is because of a bug in WinXP. There&#39;s something you can do to fix it; I remember seeing it somewhere in this forum. If you don&#39;t fix it, you still may be able to delete them from programs that have their own file explorer (like Nero), or from a number of different filesharing programs.

Edit:
To fix XP&#39;s avi handler bug, in Regedit browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT&#092;System FileAssociations&#092;.avi&#092;shellex&#092;PropertyHandler and delete the Default key contained in this folder.

download disrecovery and in the directory delete the file you want to download

>>> Windows washer will delete it for you (search net for trial version)
over 800mb recovered due to it deleting this & temp files etc.>>>


Well, I used Windows Washer trial version and I recovered 79.7 MBs of space, but I was not sure where in that program it deleted the kazaa theater cache.

Also WW did not detect Opera, Firebird or my older Netscape browsers. It detected IE 6 and Netscape 7.1 ok for some reason. *shrug...

Is there a way to uninstall or disable the theater in CleanKMD ?

Don&#39;t know, my disk cleaner seems to get stuck when it gets to &#39;Compress old files&#39;.

If the instructions in the first post are too much for you, then you&#39;d probably be better off with a program that&#39;ll do it for you, like windows washer. BTW, I&#39;ve tried it myself and it does in fact clean everything in the temporary internet files folder, and it&#39;s pretty simple to use.

Not to my knowledge.

if i may:

your ie5 content folder path is:

my compputer>c:drive> Documents & Settings>(your username)>Local Settings>Temp folder>temporary internet files>content ie5

the above path is for xp

clean kmd which version?? if you are refering to 2.6 no its not even complete, no extensions.

to be able to get to the content ie5 folder and see your files, you need to enable show of hidden files and and disable hide protected operating system files

tools>folder options>view> here check the box for ?show hidden files?then uncheck the box that
says ?hide protected operating system files (recommended)
