Every time I use disk clean up it says I have no temporary files when I know
that there must be as I have never cleaned them out since upgrading from
W98SE over 4 months ago .Can anyone help?

Regards oxy
 
In IE, tools, Internet Options, advanced tab, scroll down to Security, see if you
have a check mark next to "Empty Temporary Internet folder when browser is closed".
On the General tab click settings, click view files, the temp folder will open.
 
The problem is with Temporary files not internet temporary files :Where are
they stored and how do I clean them?
Why does Disk clean up not show them?

In my version of XP-Home it's:

Windows Exp./My Computer/C: Drive/Documents & Settings/Owner/Local
Settings/ - then I dump History-Temp-and Temporary Internet files. A long
route.....

To look at 'em.

Start | Run | Type: %TEMP% | OK
Click the Folders icon on the Toolbar to
show the tree view.

To find out for sure what your temporary path is.

Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK |
Type: set | ENTER
Look @ TEMP & TMP

Yep. If something is in use, Windows won't let you delete it.

However, if you are in the process of installing software, don't delete
until after you have rebooted and the software is fully installed.
