Problem clearing out IE8

When I click "Delete" in Internet Options to completely clear out my browser, two progress windows open instead of only one & one always stalls. Which drastically slows down the process. Any suggestions?

That didn't help at all. So then I tried not using the InPrivate Vrowsing feature, thinking the extra window was for it, but that didn't help either

It's definitely an ie8 issue, but I don't want to go back to ie7 since ie8 has improved security. Like InPrivate filtering
