How to delete Adobe Flash Player temp files, history and cache

Ronnie wants to know how to delete Adobe Flash history
Hi. I try to keep my computer clean. I delete my temp internet files and run clean up frequently. I was reading on a forum how I should clean my Adobe Flash Player cache and history but the way the way they described doing it didn’t work on my system. Can you tell me how to remove my flash player history and cached files? I have the new Emsisoft Anti-Malware and I love it. It has already saved me from installing a couple of malware toolbars hidden inside a program I wanted to install. I love your newsletters too. Thanks for all you do! Ronnie.

hanks Ronnie! It’s really easy to clear your Flash Player cache and history. Here’s how you do it:

Open Control Panel

Click on Flash Player (32 bit)
It doesn’t really matter if you have 64 bit or 32 bit Windows, it will say 32 bit in Control Panel

On the Flash Player dialog that opens, click the button that says “Delete All”

Here’s a picture to help you:

That’s it. That’s all there is to it.

    Where does one find Adobe Flash player in the Control Panel? I’ve looked and looked, I have I.E. 9, is that the problem?I see nothing about Adobe Flash player anywhere. I’m blind???

    I couldn’t find my flash player either so when I clicked on the control panel, I typed in flash player up in the right hand corner and it came up. Click on flash player and the window will appear. And I am also very pleased with my Emisoft as it saved me a few times from downloading some bad malware.

    I run Vista and there is no icon anywhere for Flash. I just reinstalled it, still no Icon, dashboard for Flash. Spent an hour on it already. My videos stall at about 30 seconds, or anywhere after that. Won’t resume play.

      You might want to ask this question in Windows forums or Adobe Flash forums — maybe there is someone else who has had the same problem.
