Show Me in the Interface the Controls for Deletion of Browsing Traces
I saw a very confident by a 'support volunteer' that the interface contains controls to delete traces.
Show me in the in interface where these files can be deleted:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\cache2\entries
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\safebrowsing
Some very bold claims that I don't see backed up by anything having to do with reality.

There are controls under Settings > privacy and security where you can block cookies etc.
And there are options to clear cookies, site dat and history when you close Fx every time
The target files in the Profile are not GUI accessible from settings, you will have to delete them manually or set up a script to do so when you close Fx
If you do delete manually copy the whole Profile folder as a back up in case there is a subsequent erro or loss you didn't accoumt for.
There are two paths I will have to write a script to delete session-generated traces:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\cache2\entries
And C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0NB2KS6j.Profile 1\safebrowsing
Whatever those traces are, they should be considered transient and able to be set for deletion whenever. The information provided by that support tech I referred to is incorrect.
