Q: 

Programmatically delete Firefox cache data and private data

I am running Windows XP SP2.

I want to programmatically delete firefox cache and the private data it stores like my cookies, saved passwords, forms data for the auto fill feature, etc.

I did an about:cache in the address bar and that led me to learn that firefox keeps its cache in $USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\someRandomlyGeneratedName\Cache.

The problem is, the contents of this folder re-appear as soon as I open firefox again, even after deleting the contents either manually or programmatically.

Clearly, these files the denote a backup and the original data is elsewhere. Could someone point me into the right direction, please?
