  JayW...I also found some files that said WGT..Might be a dumb question,but i should delete these as well..correct?

  Yes. Technically, you can delete everything in the "Adobe" folder and everything in the Roaming folder. I only deleted (in the video) the main ones to keep it simple. 

  WGT, You Tube, Facebook, and sites that use Flash store a TON of these cookies/files on your PC. 

  Everything you see or find automatically comes back the next time you open your browser and/or visit (don't have to log in, either) any site that uses or implements Flash.

  Hey Gary,

  It's not an end-all, fix-all for meter issues. It will resolve some meter hiccups, as you're cleaning out the cache that operates the meter. I posted the video mainly because we're always being told "clear our caches and cookies". Well. that is THE cache, and those are THE cookies. Browsing history and normal cookies/cache are deleted when your browser is closes (if you have it set up that way). CCleaner and ASC clean out junk, too. But, the cache and files in the video are the "cache and cookies that handle, and come from, Flash.

  Remember something, as soon as you open a browser, the "cache" comes back, and as soon as you go to any site that uses Flash, the super-cookies come back.

  My thanks too Jay .... now if I can just clear the cache in my brain so the many thoughts of real life don't interrupt my game time concentration.

  I figured this was pie in-the-sky.

  It is not.  It is a stunning difference.

  Bless you, Jay.
