Hello,
I was looking to do some cleanup on a SBS 03 SP1 server with Sharepoint 2
SP1 (yes, I am working on getting it upgraded, users are very change averse).
I got curious as to where on the drive that documents on the companyweb are
stored and noticed that there are extra documents on the folder in the drive
than there are displayed through companyweb. Can the extra documents be
safely deleted? Is there a way to specifically determine how the folders on
the drive relate to the document libraries? The path that I found is:

C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\{with about 4 subfolders}

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi David:

In order to help, can you explain the reason for your cleanup effort? If it
is lack of space, there may be better ways to gain space than to delete
files and folders.

Having said that, there are usually no issues with deleting anything in a
folder marked or called temp, tmp, or any files with .tmp extensions.
Unless you get a resounding no from others, I think you can delete
everything below .....\Temporary Internet Files\

However, if you want to reflect for a few days on the consequences of your
actions, you could cut and paste them elsewhere for a few days until you are
satisfied that nothing is broken. I might use a folder called "Delete Me
April 2 2008 or something like that.
