I've been trying to clean up this computer. It's a Dell Dimension 8200 with a Pentium 4 (1.8 GHz) and 768 MB RAM with a 40GB hard drive that has just under 8 GB free. It's running Windows XP with service pack 2 installed.
Now, my issue is defragment gets to 18% complete and says it's compacting files, then it says it's done. If I hit Analyze after the defrag "completes", it says the volume should be defragmented. I have run defrag 3 times in 24 hours and it still wants me to run it again.
Issue 2, the defrag report lists a severely fragmented 3GB temporary internet file that I can't find to delete.
Here's the report:

I go to my Temp Internet File following that path listed, and I turn on show hidden files including protected operating system files, and I can't see that file. I search for J635X420 in all files and folders and can't find it.
Any help freeing up space and getting this hard drive in better shape is appreciated!
