How do you clean out your cookies folder?

1) Do a search for cookies and open the file

2) read titles of files and delete

How do you clean out your cookies folder

Are you using IE? If so, the process looks like this:

First, go up to the top of the browser and locate the button marked "tools". Click that. A dropdown box will appear; the very last listing in it should be "Internet options". Scroll down and highlight it; click on it. A popup will appear. It should be open to the "General" tab.

About halfway down the popup is a button marked "delete cookies". If you click this, you will get an "are you sure" prompt. If you say yes, ALL cookies will be deleted. This means logging in again to all your favorite sites like FR.

Another way is to look on that same popup window, instead clicking "settings". ANOTHER popup will appear. On it choose "view files". Your Temporaray Internet Files folder will open. It contains not only cookies but web pages, graphics, etc. You can pick and choose what to delete.

"How do you clean out your cookies folder? "

Click on on "Tools" on your menu bar.

Click on "Options" or "Internet Options" (depends on what Windows you have)

Click on "Delete cookies" "Delete files", and "Clear history". Clearing all 3 will speed up your computer for the most part, especially if you have never done it before. You may not have all 3 for certain versions of Windows.

Then set "Day to keep pages in history" to zero or as low as possible.

Then check on Defragging the drive, you may have so much new open space on the drive that it could go even faster with a defrag.
