Clearing the cache at a horseshoe computer

Question:
Is there a way to clear the cache on a horseshoe computer—or does it supposedly do it when it shuts down at night? A student inadvertently told the computer to remember her login and password for myspace—then we couldn’t get it out. She was uncomfortable with just leaving it. When I tried to clear the cache it wouldn’t allow it. Is there a way that we can relieve folks mind about this kind of thing?

Answer:
If you turn the computer off and then on again, a new profile is brought from the server, and all old ones are deleted. Since the cache is a part of the profile, it is deleted. Christina has gone from machine to machine to confirm that this is working properly as well.
