Not possible with JavaScript. Which is good.

You could do this with ActiveX I guess, but I'm sure there's a cleaner solution to what you're trying to do.

You are looking on the problem from the wrong end - You shouldn't try to clear the user's cache since it is something you can't control (there might be a hack somewhere which allows you to do it but that solution will not last long)
You should spend time to define a "smart" (domain specific) cache model - for example set different expiration to different folders.
You should also understand that some elements can't be cached - for example: If you have a picture which changes every 10 min.
For this situation I would upload that picture to flicker or other picture server and set the link to that server ==> saved you bandwidth - which has the same effect as caching.
There is other solution - write your own cache handler by capturing the HTTP requests coming to the server- this is done using the ETag HTTP header field .
Good luck

You can't delete the users temporary files with javascript.
I thing you are approving your problem the wrong way.
You can tell the browser to cache or not to cache the files from xhtml.

well the only way to permanently remove your computer files and erase your hard drive is to use some hard drive cleaner software.
