I don't see anything in the log. Are you having an issue...or just doing a general cleanup?

The index.dat file can not be simply deleted. You'll need a program to remove it...but windows will recreate it again once you reboot. So it's always there.

If you want to clean it out...try this...

Download and install CCleaner..http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

1. Open the program and the "Cleaner" button should be active.
2. Click on "Run Cleaner"
3. Once thats done it will clean out the TEMP folder.
4. Now click on "Issues" and then "Scan for Issues"
5. Once it's done checkmark ALL it finds and click "Fix Selected Issues"
6. It will ask you if you want to back up the registry entrys it's removing so please do so. If it removes anything important..just locate the .reg file you saved...double click on it to add the entrys back.

Close the program.


That will clear out the index.dat, TEMP folders, Prefetch folder...etc
