| Sep 15, 2022 at 7:18 | comment | added | Graviton | @Ramhound, nothing odd about it, see here. What is odd is that why the protected, invisible files are so numerous and consume so much space. | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 5:57 | comment | added | Ramhound | Any application that uses it that displays web content uses it, for instance, Visual Studio before 2019 and 2022 used it. Looking at the path, something is odd, AppData shouldn’t be in the Windows directory. | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 5:40 | comment | added | Graviton | So that means I don't use the trident browser engine, which begs the question who is writing to that folder ? | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 5:10 | comment | added | Ramhound | Neither of those uses the Trident browser engine. | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 3:12 | comment | added | Graviton | @Ramhound, what if I download things from Google Chrome/Firefox? They will also go to the IE folder? Doesn't make sense to me | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 2:55 | comment | added | Ramhound | As for the reason there is an IE folder, any application that has the capacity of downloading content throw a browser component that is based on the Trident engine would use that cache. You should be able to delete the contents directly from WIzTree. | |
