Clearing cookies, site data and cache.

more options

When I try to clear cookies, site data and cache it still says 568 kb of disc space. It just started doing this. I have windows 7. Anybody know? I used to be able to get it to 0 kb.

Often it's not that the cache isn't deleted, it's that Firefox recreates some new cache right away. Certain things that Firefox does in the background (like update checking, loading dynamic content on a new tab, checking for add-on updates, etc) will also appear in the cache.

After you clear your cache, if you go to the about:cache page in Firefox, you should be able to see exactly what's being cached still.
