The file s folder appears as empty but Disk cleanup indication is daily approx. But after Disk Cleanup I see on the small window that the row Temporary Internet Files contain permanently a large volume now cca. I noticed while working with IE , over the above mentioned limit of Mb the system add further files ; using Disk cleanup these new files are deleted but the damned indication of of Mb remain unchanged. A possible relation with Windows Update?
