Clear Cache on Windows Live Search Mobile

[acalvarez]

I downloaded this program and I really enjoy it. Great search features with categories and traffic and maps and movies and it's just awesome. In the settings there is an option to "Save Cache to Memory Card" and I only use my memory card for music so I checked no. However, from doing searches and other things with the program, my memory on the phone has gone down significantly. I can't find an option or a file to clear the cache. The memory went down right after I started using the program so I'm pretty sure that's the cause.

Here's the link for the download for anyone who's interested:

I put the Live Search cache on my memory card, but you might try looking in the \Application Data\Live Search folder and deleting any files there. Specifically, the file on my memory card is called Cache.bin.

I found it, I just wonder if I delete it there will be some kind of error with the program. I guess I could just reinstall it.

Do the careful person's trick first -- kill the program in Task Manager, rename the file, then run the program. If it still works, you can probably safely delete the file.

Renaming instead of deleting is a good idea for registry keys and other files, too.

P.S. Thanks for the thanks.
