Fat History Folder
« on: 28 October 2005, 07:53 »
I use Norton Clean Sweep to clean my cache, etc. and my history folder gets bigger and bigger. There's now over 2 mb that won't clear. Clean Sweep says there's 4 files accounting for the 2mb and right clicking on the history folder shows 26 files in 24 folders. In Dos it says nothing is there. Can anyone shed some light on this nonsense?

Just do a Windows disc clean up and they'll be removed.

The Hidden files thing is all a big myth, MS have no reason to log your browsing history.

The hidden files article is outdated.
