I tried that and other cleaner programs I have. Always shows 4,800 kilobytes.If you really want to get rid of temporary/backup files on your system, then I suggest you download and run CleanUp!. When you install it just hit the CLEANUP! button and it will do a standard cleanup. Please note that this will also delete your cookies, so you will have to re-input any login/passwords that you have for certain websites the next time you visit them. It's no biggy, just make sure you know what they are!

Go to START-->RUN and type in: services.msc
Once in the SERVICES window appears, scroll down and see if there is a service labeled PUBLISHER. If there is, double-click on it. Change the STARTUP TYPE to manual and click the STOP button. Do the same for the WEBCLIENT service.
I don't think there will be a PUBLISHER service I'm im 100% positive there is a Webclient Service.
If you notice anything that is abnormal after you set this service to manual, then just reverse the previous steps to re-enable it, but you shouldn't have any problems.
Let me know if this gets rid of the 4,800KB.

*EDIT* You'll need to reboot your computer before trying Disk Cleanup again.

Turning off WebClient deletes them it is the same with some other services you stop them and some files get deleted, they are recreated when you start it again. If you are so desperate to get rid of 4.8mb do you what some other tips?
Not desparate, just curious as to why it started showing up to undeletable when I used to delete it.

They aren't undeletable, You DO DELETE them when you use the cleanup utlity, Windows just remakes them because those files are needed for the WebClient Service.

But the WebClient service always showed up on Disk Cleanup before and always went to 0 I after I run it. Let's let it go. There's always things happnning that I wonder about. Like now when I right click on the desktop area, the option to not show any icons is gone.
