Sometimes, my profile will have a folder named "Cache.Trash26316" (the

in the 0.5 GB to 1 GB range, and has 15 subfolders apparently named by
in a Hex fashion: 1, 2, 3,..., D, E, F. There are usually files named
_CACHE_001_, _CACHE_002_, etc, and one named _CACHE_MAP_.
I can delete the folder with no apparent effects, which I usually do
when I back up the folder or transfer it to my laptop.
What is this folder?
NOBODY knows anything about this? Has anyone even found such a file in
their profile?
The usual convention in newsgroups is, if your answer is "I don't know,"
you keep your mouth shut. That way the list isn't cluttered with a bunch
of useless posts from people saying they don't know.
Understood, and is why I asked a new question. I suspect a lot of people
have this file(s), but don't know about it. I discovered it when
transferring profiles to a laptop, and when backing up files. It more
than doubles the size of the profile, making for slow file exchanges.
Deleting the file doesn't seem to cause problems, so I suspect it may be
generated during Seamonkey crash or recovery, and isn't part of normal
operation. I wanted to be sure people knew about it, in case it is
indicative of a bug in Seamonkey.
