Maybe I am missing something.. but since when can't you delete them?
I delete them all day long without rebooting into another OS doing web development...
and all I use is IE.
Go to your temporary internet files folder and delete them.
The window sometimes does not refresh.. maybe that gives the impression it cannot
be deleted... just press f5 and they are gone. Don't believe it? Pop up a file
system monitor and watch them go bye-bye.
