IE cache is a folder in your Internet Explorer Program Files folder where website files are stored to help speed up your web surfing.



That's also the folder where IE will store its cookies (or website receipts). You can delete everything from the cache, and it will clear a lot of storage from your hard drive, BUT the cache will just fill back up and in the short term it may mildly affect your browser's performance. If you leave the cache intact IE will regulate it on its own.



If you are trying to get more storage on your computer, you can go into Internet Explorer Tools and change the % of drive space or number of megabytes of storage you want to allow the cache to take up on your hard drive. It also gives you other options about your computer history, cookies etc. I recommend you get to know your IE options because they can help keep your internet browsing safe for your computer.

Nothing to worry about. Its just another way of saying temporary internet files. Most likely they are cookies, web pages, etc. They get loaded on their to personalize the browsing experience, but you need to clear them out occaisonally.
The Internet Explorer (ie) cache is basically a folder on your systems where the ie puts for example images from websites in, so next time you visit the website it loads quicker.
cache is temporary storage of websites and other things that you have visited. It is perfectly normal to get this, and delete it using Disk Cleanup.



Everything that Disk Cleanup finds can be deleted. Then use DEFRAG to help make your drive run somewhat faster. If you do BOTH just once a week, your computer will be kept running in top shape.



You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search %26amp; Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.



Good luck and Happy Computing.
