How do I clean out my MS Java cache?
« on: February 15, 2008, 07:39:53 PM »
I have Windows ME and use Pogo.  They advocate cleaning out your java cache on a regular basis, but only seem to provide answers and support for Sun Java, which is not compatible with Windows ME.

I can find Java files on my hard drive, but am too ignorant to know which, if any, will lead me to the answer!

Please, can anyone tell me how to clean out my MS java cache?

Thank you very much!

Do you use Microsoft Virtual Machine, instead of Java?
If so, you should uninstall it, and install Sun Java. I believe, ver. 1.5 supports Windows ME.

If there is a Java applet on the tray you can just right clik it and it should have a clear cache option...
If not it can be found in Control Panel/Java/Settings/Temporary internet files.

Thanks for the suggestions, but they are not workable for me. 
As far as I know, I am running MS Java (am not familiar with virtual machine).
There is no Java applet, no tray, and no Java under Control Panel -- that would be too easy! ;D

Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache

This is the normal path for the java temp files....anything in this folder can be safely deleted...

As I said, MS Java should be uninstalled for safety reasons.
