I use Pale Moon as my primary browser. I have unchecked Internet Explorer from the Programs & Features, yet I still get many megs of "web cache" files in AppDataMicrosoft.
I know CCleaner gets rid of the files but, I have no understanding of why they are there in the first place. I would like to be enlightened.
Just wondering if I have bad breath and that's the reason for no responses.
It's because it's too complicated to explain.

Based on information here:

I found that it is possible to delete certain databases on boot to prevent the file from being fully rebuilt but really it's a waste of time.
