 * I have emptied my website cache using the wp supercache plugin, and then deactivated
   the wp supercache plugin, but it is still creating a cache in my website files.
 * Anyone know how to fix this?

 * FTP your site, delete the cache folder found at wp-content/cache

 * Hi there, thanks for your reply.
 * I had tried deleting the folder, but it kept being re-created. My webhost tech
   could not figure out why it was doing that. Even with the plugin disabled it 
   was still creating the cache folder.
 * Finally the only thing that worked was to delete the plugin itself.
