Microsoft Windows keeps a lot of "hidden files" on your computer outside of the cache.

Boot to DOS, type dir /p ah and view them. They are not visible when Windows has been started.

Unlike the Cache which can be erased, these files can't.

These files keep a copy of every URL you have ever visited, a copy of every Outlook message, and the name of every file that was ever on your computer.

I reccommend Window Washer:
