If you change the location of the cache directory, then clear the cache, will that clear the cached files at the original location? Perhaps the OP should clear the cache first, then select a better location (if a better location is in fact desired)? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
