If I open a file that has been emailed to me in Outlook, when I save it I am prompted to save to this directory: appdata/local/microsoft/windows/inetcache (Screen shot: http://i.imgur.com/BvTDm81.png)

I can see that it has many temp files which I would like to delete but the folder is invisible in Explorer and only shows itself when prompting me to save files.

Hidden files view is checked and I have also run cleanmngr which has not deleted these temp files.

Is there a way to access appdata/local/microsoft/windows/inetcache to remove these files?
 
To see this folder you need to uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" on the folder view. I have no idea what the consequences of deleting them may be though - presumably they are hidden for a reason. Anyway if you want to that is how to do it.
