Nope...
It didn't work. I even restarted the computer. Some files, like .jpgs or .gifs, could be removed but some couldn't.
That's because some files are still used by some process (your browser and/or explorer).

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.
It's what KeyStorm has said about it....

erm, you can simply open index.dat with notepad or anything else, provided it isn't locked by any process.
You don't need to zip it if you can't open it, just copy it and open the copy.... (and that goes for almost any locked file)
