This is more commonly known as the Temporary Internet Files if you use Internet Explorer. Most browsers give you the option of setting a maximum amount of space to be used to store these files. Once the maximum is reached, the machine will deleted older stored files to make room for new ones. You can clear out the entire contents of this cache by following the instructions below. If you do not clear out your cache, it will not fill up your machine, it will only fill up as far as the maximum allowed space set in your browser options.
