the problem you could not find it was probably that you did not go into your correct folder for the application data.

if you look through your machine you will notice (on mine anyway):
C > Documents & Settings > Administrator > Application Data* > Mozilla
C > Documents & Settings > All Users > Application Data*
C > Documents & Settings > ikthius > Application Data* > Mozilla
C > Documents & Settings > Default User > Application Data*
C > Documents & Settings > Local Service > Application Data
C > Documents & Settings > Network Service > Application Data

* = hidden folders, you must show hidden folders to see them.

Th red one is the one you wanted, but what you found on Mozill.org was a quick way to get into the folder I have highlighted red, which you could have gotten into quicker if you follwed both mine and chris ' instructions.

But I am glad you got it sorted.

And deleting thte subfolders deletes everything, if you followed it a bit further and just got rid of the contents of your cache you would still have everything else intact.

Four clicks from My Computer is certainly easier than typing in the Run box. The issue here isn't that the method you found at Mozilla.org is easier, it's that you just didn't look properly when you tried to find the Mozilla folder first time round. I guarantee you, that folder will be in the same place regardless of which way you look for it.
yes and it is in alphabetical order.....
