How does one clean their cache?

To delete *all* Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | OK
Or right click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop.
Or: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options.
Best to do this with all instances of Internet Explorer closed. Especially
if there are a large number of files.
2) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
3) Check the box ? Delete all offline content {This cleans >> C:\Documents
and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files AND
C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5 and \Content.MSO
4) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the
temporary internet files
5) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that
websites have placed on your hard drive.
-----

If you want, try this: Open IE | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab |
scroll down to the bottom | check: Empty Temporary Internet Files folder
when browser is closed | click Apply | OK. Entirely up to you, but if you
want to be rid of this, it is done automatically. Deletes the content of
C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files but not the Content.IE5 or Content.MSO folders.

Also: Start IE | Tools | Internet Options | General tab | Days to keep
pages in history: 0 | Apply | OK.

An alternative, that will do the job for you with one simply button click is
an application aptly named 'CleanCache' (www.butuglysoftware.com) I use this
application regularly. I should point out that you do need to have the .NET
framework 1.1 installed on your pc for CleanCache to work
Just install Cleancache and run the application. Click the Internet explorer
tab and tick all the boxes you want cleared - include the index.dat files
too. Next click the windows tab and do the same. Finally click the run
complete cleanup button on the status tab.
If you install cleancache and you do not have the .NET framework installed
clean cache will throw up an error message and will not work. If you already
have .NET framework (you can check in control panel>administrative tools and
see if .NET framework icons are visible. If not download it from windows
update. It's around 23MB and install it.
