temporary internet files

In the C drive, under windows I have my temporary internet files like everyone else. But i noticed recently that the space on my hard drive keeps getting less and less, so I went through a search to see what files were taking up too much space. When I click on folder properties for the temp internet files it says that it is taking up 3.5 Gigabytes of space, but when i open the folder it is empty. I did go to folder options under the control panel and clicked on "show all hidden files and folders," but still there was nothing. Does anyone know how I can clear those files out, and how I can find them? Anything would be helpful. Thanks
