    As a follow-up to I_Know_Nothing_at_all (Are you looking to manually delete them?): I have used CCleaner for many years to clean lots of stuff on Windows.  I just learned today that CCleaner for Mac is now available as a beta at http://www.piriform.com/mac (sorry, I don't know if Flash cleaning is implemented in the Mac version yet).

    CCleaner is good for Windows.

    I've used AppleJack since 2005 on three different Macs, and I'll swear by it.

    Users\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Flash (or Shockwave)

    They are hidden by default though. Unless you use a pref pane like "Secrets" and can show hidden files, it may look empty.

    Are you looking to manually delete them?

    No, Actually I was wanting to try and Capture the Flash to store and play at another time (I suppose as a side to this would be what kind of ease would there be in changing the file format from Flash to .... Say MP4? or other common video format?

    The way I do it is using a plug-in called DownloadHelper for Firefox. It saves the FLV wherever you want it. Then I run the FLV through Adobe Media encoder if I plan to use it somewhere else. If not I keep the FLV to play in VLC Media Player.

    There is also a "converter" that DLH sells so you can convert the video right after downloading it. It's $30 I think, but since I can do it with AME which I already have, I couldn't justify the expense.
