Power loss clears Temp internet files

Techman

On many occasions I was online and the electric power suddenly went off,
when I came back I had lost all of my temp internet files.
This happened for many instances.
This creates big problems for me cause I visit all my websites and read them
offline.
I also changed my temp internet files location but in vain.

Does anyone know the solution?

Get a UPS backup power supply.

I *strongly* second that recommendation. Losing temp internet files is
one of the milder things that can happen to you if there's a sudden
loss of power. A UPS is inexpensive and everyone should have one for
each computer they own.

You have probably lost other files as well since you apparently are not
using a battery back up Uninterrupted Power Supply.

Thanks for your suggestions but here in our country UPSs are very expensive
and I can't affored them.
My question is that why do only temp internet files get cleaned up why not
other files that are already stored, but why does this folder get completly
lost?

They are somewhat expensive but they do not cost more than a new hard drive.
You are really taking chances ranging from data loss to hardware failure by
not using an UPS. You don't know that those temp files are the only files
you have lost and I don't know why that folder seems to be targeted each
time.

I don't know what country he's in, or what prices are like there, but
the smaller ones (suitable for most home use, aren't very expensive at
all here in the US. I like those made by APC. Here's one for $40 US:

Time to buy a UPS power supply backup unit. Get the best you can
afford...

I appreciate your suggestions, but what is the reason that the temp folder
gets erased, there is also some other data stored on the harddrive why don't
they get erased because of a power failure.
