Delete Unused Cookies on Computer

Windows Support : Clear out unwanted cookies on Windows 98, ME, and 2000

Step 1 : Go to the main computer start up screen. There you will see an icon that says My computer. Click that

Step 2 : What the My Computer screen looks like
Once you have clicked on My computer you will see a screen with different icons. Find the icon that says C ( or some computers it says local disk C )

Step 3 : Double click the C or local disk C with the left button on mouse.

Step 4 : what the C or F folder looks like opened
After you have opened the C (or for some of you F) folder, you will see the folders inside C. There will be a folder that says Windows. Locate that folder.

Step 5 : Windows folder circled
Next, double click the Windows folder using the left button on your mouse. Windows folder will automatically open if you click the folder right.

Step 6 : Once Windows folder is opened there will be a folder labeled cookies. Double click with left mouse button on the cookies folder.

Step 7 : Once inside the cookies folder, there will be a lot of unneeded cookies stored there.

Step 8 : If you know how to do this part(delete cookies this way), hold the left mouse button down beside of a folder and keep dragging up covering every folder.

Step 9 : After every file in Cookies have turned black( it's supposed to turn black when you hold the left mouse button to cover all files), right click on one of the files that are black and go down to delete and click it.

Step 10 : There will then be a little window pop up that will ask if you're sure you want to send(however many files you have) to the recycle bin and click yes.

Step 11 : If you have done the process right, your cookies files will go to recycle bin. Sometimes another window will pop up saying the index file couldn't be deleted and that's fine, you need that file.

Step 12 : After files have been removed to recycle bin then go to main start up screen and click on recycle bin. If you are using the same type of Windows as me then there should be an option on the left side of the recycle bin page that says empty recycle bin. Click that. If not you will have to right click on the files in the recycle bin and go down to delete. If you have to do the second option(right clicking) there will be a little pop up that asks if you're sure you want to delete the files and click yes.

Step 13 : Once you have completed all previous steps, you have successfully deleted unneeded cookie files, which will make more free space. You may want to do this process at least 2 times a week to keep free space so your computer space won't get overran.
