The PZ program does a lot more too. After using it if I add several pictures to a new folder it displays them as a details list. Formerly they appeared as large thumbnails.
It is odd they seem to have abandoned development on PZ.
IE10 uses WebcacheV01.dat vs index.dat files. How to clear/delete?

Delete on reboot?
It seems that I can delete webcachev01.dat on reboot and the file gets recreated with a new smaller file size.
I'm having trouble viewing the contents so if anyone can point me in the direction of a file contents viewer that works - feel free.
I've tried a couple of Nirsoft products but all I see is an empty window. I have the full Nirsoft suite installed.
Also Bleachbit log shows the file as deleted but doesn't actually appear to delete it!

File content as shown by IECacheView
Downloaded latest version of IECacheView and analysis after deletion of webcacheV01.dat shows only the two most recent URL's (visited since deletion).
However analysis with HistoryViewer detects 18 URL's but doesn't display any useful info.
Obviously a 20Mb webcacheV01.dat file must contain other data but how is it possible to view the data?

You can use LockHunter to delete it. Expand taskhost.exe, click on the WebCacheV01.dat, click on Delete it. It will tell you it can't be deleted. Choose to Delete At Next System Restart.
LockHunter is a free 64/32 bit tool to delete files blocked by any processes

Hi Guys
I use CCleaner and with IE 8 and 9 it does delete index.dat.... so if this new dat file for IE 10 and 11 holds the same sort of info that 8 and 9 does then it seems to me that CCleaner and other companies should come up with a way to delete it.

The file webcacheV01.dat remains behind unaltered in IE10 and IE11 after a CCleaner run. Maybe Piriform will add it to the clean up item in the future.

Either none of the other Cleaner program developers care about privacy or this new way MS is caching your information in IE10 and IE11 is a real bear to crack the code and clean.
If PrivaZer succeeds in its promise, all other Cleaner type progams will have to follow.
Whoever installs the new PrivaZer program when the next version is available, pls post shots and comments on its effectiveness at this task.

I will not be using the PrivaZer myself. Ran it after making my weekly images, and it slightly altered too many things. For instance, the read posts at 9F were bold, and the unread were not. Test over, reverted to image, no more PrivaZer.

Undesired results after PrivaZer usage
Hi,
The first time I ran PrivaZer I let it clean everything it found and like you I restored from system image backup as I was unhappy with the results but I've stuck with running PrivaZer on occasions as after repeated usage I discovered how to set it up to meet my needs. Briefly for anyone else who reads this thread and decides to try PrivaZer:
Make a system image backup first.
From the GUI switch to Advanced User
Select only the scans that you require and configure options for removal and backup before scanning.
Review the scan results once the scan is complete and make sure that you're happy with the results before allowing removal.
Tip: It does take some time to run a scan. Personally I run the portable version directly from a RAMdisk to speed things up.
Tip: Your personal scan and backup/ removal settings can be saved in the PrivaZer.ini file.
