Apologies if I've mistakenly asked this question already. When trying to clear my Cached Web Content in Options/Privacy and Security it will not clear to 0 but remains at 9.8 MB every time. i.e."Your stored cookies, site data, and cache are currently using 9.8 MB of disc space." I worry that this indicates a bug in my system.

Thank you very much, Fred. Followed your advice but could not find cache/cache2 folder in File Explorer. However having selected Form and Search history + Cache only in Clear Recent History then CLOSING FIREFOX and WAITING for 20 seconds, found the problem cleared itself. The clue to the solution was in your reply. Thanks again, Tom.

Location of the cache/cache2 folder; Windows: *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\ Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/ Linux: ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to the above, and remove the folder.
