Window 7 - Favorites folder

I found my deleted favorites in hidden files under App Data, Local, Microsoft, Internet Explorer, Tiles. I want to delete the contents and the folder it's in. Will the Tiles folder reappear? If so, how do I get rid of it forever?

  • @Ramhound, Thanks for answering my question. There are about 4,000 deleted favorites in the Tiles folder. I was shocked, or maybe not, that Microsoft would purposely keep this information. Now I know to delete the contents more often.

  • @Daisy Zhou, Thank you for the advice. I've never used any cloud service, but I did uninstall and reinstall IE even though I don't use it for anything other than the Favorites folder.

  • Your shocked that an application would generate files it needs to function? Any application would do that just not a Microsoft application
