Thanks, I ran that (and will run it regularly) and it cleared the 2GB of
files created in the last 6 hours. However, almost as quickly as those
files were being deleted more were being created. Don't know whether it is
Google desktop or Windows indexing service, they are the only two services
that are likely to be trawling through these files.
thanks again
Joe
