kritius here is my canned speech for clearing cache
Manually clear cache
- Open an Explorer folder window (for example, double-click My Computer).
- From the Explorer menu select Tools | Folder Options | View. Make sure that you have checked the box next to "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
- Start Internet Explorer and click Tools | Internet Options | General tab | Settings | View Files.
- IE should have opened up a folder window, typically viewing a folder with the name of C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. Put your cursor in the Address area of the folder window and add the name \content.ie5 to the name, so in our example the Address bar would now read c:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\content.ie5.
- You should see a series of four or more folders with random eight-character names like ADOZMZS1. Delete each of these randomly named folders. You may get an error that some files are in use, this is normal if you are currently at a web site since those files are in the cache. Hold down the Shift key when deleting the files so they do not go to the Recycle Bin.
- If desired, reset the folder options you changed in step 1.

@ Sublime90
I am guessing that you will be able to find C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
after you have checked the box next to "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
This is considered hidden temp internet files
