How do I go about deleting offline content from my comp. to free up space on my ram?

My computer operates on Windows XP/2002. I have a Norton 360 antivirus which automatically does the cleaning of temp. files etc. but i cant recall it doing a cleanup of offline files. How can I get rid of offline content?

A couple of people have mentioned fine ways to delete your cached files, and there's even been a good answer about how if you think you have a RAM problem, maybe you need more. I don't want to be repetitive or poach, so I won't repeat those answers.

I suspect the heart of your problem is that either a) your computer is running slow so you think you need more RAM, b) you're running out of disk space, which deleting cached files will not measurably help, or c) you're trying to get rid of something specific in your cached files.

If it's 'a' or 'c', then you have all the info you need. If it's 'b' then your cached and temporary files probably only consume about 150MB or less and getting rid of them won't help much at all. You can reduce the size of your recycle folder (Right click on Recycle Bin %26gt; Properties %26gt; resize down into the 1 or 2 percent range, reboot) and your System Restore (Right click My Computer %26gt; System Properties %26gt; System Restore %26gt; run the slider down to about 5 percent). If that's not enough, start offloading your mp3, mpg/wmv/avi files and any ISO's you might have.
