Those files in that directory ARE the cached or, in IE parlance, the
temporary internet files. For a variety of reasons the files are stored
using indexed names instead of the actual filenames downloaded from the
Internet. You can certainly delete them individually from within
Windows Explorer.

If you want to read more:

http://www.google.com/search?query=f...20files&num=50

Sorry but I couldn't find any information at that URL as to how to delete
them individually. Is there a specific post there or URL explaining how to
do it? Typing in about:cache doesn't bring them up.

Don't be accommodating, be honest. I honestly don't have much more time
for anything else.

If you use Windows Explorer to view the files in the cache folder, you
can do anything to them that you can do to ANY file on your hard drive
using Windows Explorer: Copy, Paste, Delete, Move etc.

The challenge is in figuring out what file is what. Hence my
references and statements about how Firefox/Mozilla names and stores the
cached files.

What exactly is it that you don't understand about this?

Does it bother you that doctors call what they do a practice?
