Do we have to retian the files or delete ? if Yes do I have to close firefox when I delete ?

Thanks

for the sake of firefox's sanity, i would close it while you delete the files... but you should be able to delete them cleanly.

cheers

Thanks ..that freed a Gig.

why would it be ).corrput( there any guess ?

[bunder]

afraid not... did you try opening one of them to see what it's contents were? if they build up again, it might be worth looking into.

cheers
