Everyone will have an opinion on this ... but I would recommend, at
least, from time to time, deleting "all" the index.dat files you find.
There are a number of them, some displayed, some not displayed.  But
over a period of time, especially if you use the Interent a lot, they
can grow to a fairly substantial size ... they essentially log a lot
of various data about your websurfing activities.  You're correct, if
you delete them ... they are recreated.
