Nope...
It didn't work. I even restarted the computer. Some files, like .jpgs or .gifs, could be removed but some couldn't.
I'm talking the folders in
C:\Documents and Settings\<computer_name>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 in case we are talking about different folder

I knew that
I mean index. dat stores website addresses that we visited from a certain time. I periodically delete the history which is in C:\Documents and Settings\<your_login>\Local Settings\history, but I still can see the addresses that I visited in index.dat.
Just found out the trick. Just zip the index.dat and open the compressed file.
