I was very low on disk space and netscape kept eating it all up--mine
would delete the cache, but wouldn't limit it at all. So I wrote a
script to search the /home directory structure and remove the caches
if they were greater than 1M. Whenever it removes one, it writes a

I seem to have built up to a huge netscape cache
[byers@byers .netscape]$ cd cache
[byers@byers cache]$ du -s

that looks like 3/4 of a 1gig to me
when i gointo edit preferences advanced cache
and then try to
clear disk cache
and
clear memory cache
it seems to have zero effect,
du -s

Sure, why not. I

My ~/.bash_logout includes commands for clearing my cache:
rm -f $HOME/.netscape/lock
rm -rf $HOME/.netscape/cache/*
rm -rf $HOME/.mozilla/default/Cache/*
As a matter of fact:
rm -R .netscape/cache/*
is faster and won't hurt a thing (done it numerous times). It will just
recreate all of the directories when first run again.
I do the same thing, here.
Just make sure the '-i' option (default with RH bash installs) is turned
off
