Windows 11 Pro 23H2 build 22631.2861

After selecting ‘Temporary Internet Files’ for deletion in each run of ‘Disk Clean-up’, the tool continues to display 0.99GB of files for deletion, even though they were supposedly removed in the previous operation. This persistent presence raises questions about whether these files are being recreated immediately after deletion, despite no internet activity occurring between clean-up runs. This process prompts the inquiry – why are these files offered for deletion if they are reinstated shortly after?

Additionally, the presence of a lock symbol raises concerns. If the files are indeed locked, it begs the question of why they are included in the deletion options. Understanding the reason for these locked files, their potential for unlocking, their location, and the potential risks associated with unlocking them becomes crucial. When attempting to view the files, the folder displays as ‘Empty,’ adding a layer of confusion to the situation.

It would be beneficial to know if others have encountered similar behavior and to explore potential solutions to resolve these discrepancies.
