Windows ME Cleanup

I have a Dell Dimension running Windows ME which I hate because it always locks up on me. Anyway, my kids beat the crap out of it and I get to clean it up. Lately I have been trying to run a Scandisk, then a Defrag, but the Scandisk never completes. I thought maybe there were too many files on the HD and deleted what I could. In the midst of this I found a directory called C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\IE5something and under that are a bunch of subdirectory directory names which are like gibberish (GH13ECPH8) and chock full of .tif, .htm, image files, etc. Do I need these?
Earlier I said Scandisk won't run, even when I CTRL-ALT-DELETE and End Task most everything that's running. That baffles me since it used to work. Something is trying to write to a harddisk but what.
Any help would be appreciated.
