    1. Boot with Safe Mode Prompt Only mode.

    2. Type cd\ which will you bring you to the root which will display as C:\>

    3. Type cd windows

    4. Type cd prefetch and your prompt display will look like: C:\windows\prefetch>

    5. Type del *.*

    This will wipe the prefetch contents. Windows will automatically rebuild the prefetch based on your usage patterns.

    Reboot into normal mode.
