LG, Do you have file sharing turned on?
And, do you have "Accept Cookies" turned off?

LG; I take it your using windows, and if so a lot of disk
caching goes on, ( virtual memory ) the Java programs use the
heck out of that. This cleans itself up from time to time,
most often when you open a new program or window.
Heck mine gets so big I have to clear it manually from time
to time. I intercept all cookies and I don't believe SI
is scanning your disk. If any one is it's some crap bill gates
has built into windows.

One possibility is that HTML provides a caching or time limit on pages or files. It is possible that the SI graphics, buttons, etc are cached on your machine with a 1 week expiry so each week it goes out to get a new copy and writes that to your disk, during the week it just reads it from disk.
