I wondered about this having read your post. I don't have !Cache and its
sub-directories but I do have
!Boot.Resources.!Scrap.ScrapDirs.IDdisabled.WWW.NetSurf.Cache. In there I
found I had 45 megabytes of said stuff - earliest from 2006, latest from
May this year.

In my case it's set at 2MB but there's no option to set the expiry. I'm
using NS 3.1, 25 April 2014.

I see that NS 3.2 is available on the website and the changelog mentions
support for disc caching. I'll give it a go but wonder what the disk cache
setting was doing in NS 3.1 if it was just storing stuff without deleting
it and why the last cached item was in May this year!
