You may want to download this free utility to make clearing several caches quick and easy: Yasu http://www.jimmitchelldesigns.com/yasu.html I know that there are several multi-function utilites that will do the same thing, but Yasu has the advantage of being free, and also that it doesn't have many features that can get you in serious trouble if you don't know what they are.
