System32configcontent.IE5 folder.

Windows\system32\config\content.IE5 folder.
I have viewed the contents of this folder and noticed that it has 4 sub
folders plus an index. These 4 subfolders contains over 4300 files, almost
all of them ending with .XML and dated last year.
My question is, Can I delete these files? What purpose are they stored there
for?
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Drew.

This is an IE cache folder, but usually this folder is not found under
SYSTEM32\CONFIG. Somehow it may have been copied/moved to this
location, but anyway: you can safely delete the whole CONTENT.IE5
folder.
