.tiff files

Cut 'n' pasted from the main forum......

I was doing a bit of housekeeping and deleting to free up space on the old hard drive and came upon all the .tiff files, some 20,000 of them in all. Well, on further inspection the majority are web icons of websites that the computer has visited over the last few years and two things are confusing me.

1) There are loads of sites that I have no recollection of visiting and the likelihood is small due to no interest (i.e quilting websites), so how is there a record of having visited such sites apart from someone else having used the computer ?

2) What would be the purpose of the computer keeping all these icons even though I regularly clean out the cookies and so on, so as to keep the inner workings running smoothly ? Most are between 8kb and 30kb in size, so not space hogs, but all the same.....

So, any bright sparks out there who can put me to the wise, their wisdom would be appreciated.


Thanks
