I have asked the following question in various communities
and no one has yet answered my query. Am I asking
something really stupid here, or has no one got a solution?
"When I use Disk Cleanup, everything works fine
except the 'WebClient/Publisher temporary files' option. I
have this ticked, but the cleanup does not delete the
files in there (at the moment 44,864KB and rising!). Could
anyone tell me why I cannot clear these files in Disk
Cleanup? Thank you...."

Apparently not, must be a problem with your
installation. Though I do have a remedy for you.

1. Go into Tools in IE, then Internet Options, Delete
Cookies and Files, then click settings, view files and
delete everything in that folder when it comes up. (You
can leave the cookies, if you want.)

2. In the address bar of that folder, add "content.ie5"
to the end of it, and delete everything there, it wont
let you delete the index.dat file, this is ok.

3. Change between all users on your computer and do these
again.

4. Goto "C:\Windows" and delete everything in the "Temp"
and "Prefetch" folders

5. Delete everything in your "Recycle Bin"

6. Reboot.

This should take care of what your trying to do.

Hope this helps.
 
A big thank you for replying. I did everything you
advised, but still have 44,864KB in the
dreaded "WebClient/Publisher temporary file". I do delete
all offline content on a daily basis, and had already
deleted all the temp files, but hadn't done the "Prefetch"
folder. However, even this does not seem to have solved
my problem. If you have any other suggestions, please let
me know, but if not, thanks ever so much for trying.
 
1. go to internet exploerer
2. select internet options
3. under "temporary internet files, select "settings.
set it to the amount in meg's that you want to keep in temp
i.e. 35mg.and click ok.
4. under win utilities do you disk cleanup again. it should
reset to the amount of space you have allocated.
