Help!!! IE 10 & 11 Shows Ghost Folders
Hi All :)
I am having a problem with Internet Explorer 10 and 11. Actually this problem even extends to IE 8 and IE 9... but the problem of ghost folders was completely fixable in IE 8 and IE 9 by running CCleaner and deleting index.dat.
Anyway the problem I am noticing is when I am on a website and I am using the website's uploading functionality to browse for a file that I want to upload... IE10 and IE11 will show ghost folders. For example, if I have a folder labeled as "Photos A" and I have renamed it to "Photos AX", IE Versions 8, 9, 10 and 11 will show both folders... "Photos A" and "Photos AX".... when in reality only the folder "Photos AX" actually exists.
As I mentioned above... when I encountered this ghost folder problem before in IE 8 and IE9, running CCleaner and deleting index.dat, completely cured the problem. However this doesn't work anymore with IE10 and IE11 because index.dat no longer exists.
IE 10 and IE 11 now use webcacheV01.dat... and so I have used the program LockHunter to delete the webcacheV01.dat at startup... but the ghost folder problem still persists.
So I have several questions:
1. Has anyone figured out a work around?
2. If I delete the update for IE11, will my system resort back to IE9 or IE 8? I am using windows 7 Home Premium.
Any assistance/advice any of you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

P.S. Firefox doesn't have this problem... no ghost folders at all. I don't have Google Chrome installed so I am not sure if it would show this ghost folder issue or not.
