puma1 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I just noticed mine is over 7gb large. Is there any way to shrink this? Anyone else's this bloated? Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1220801-windows-81-inetcache-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zlip792 MVC Posted July 8, 2014 MVC Share Posted July 8, 2014 Just clear Temporary Internet Files from Disk Cleanup or use third party tool like CCleaner or Bleachbit. Open RUN using Windows Key + R, type "cleanmgr" without quotes and select Operating System driver and tick Temporary Internet Files to clean cache.

Can you show me your Startup program? If you are using Windows 8+ then you can do it through opening Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and open "Startup" tab. If you are usin Windows 7 or below then you can do it through using RUN and type msconfig and open "Startup" tab. Take screenshot using Alt+PrintScr or use snipping tools present in Windows 7 onward. EDIT: If you wanna see folder yourself, you have to untick this option in Folder Option.

zhangm Supervisor Posted July 8, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted July 8, 2014 Are you on Windows 8.1 Update 1? Looking online, I see indications that earlier versions of 8 accumulate data from some streaming apps to the degree that the INetCache folder balloons to an alarming size.
