page doesnt exist but still there

[bookouri]

Im working on my web site and i have a page that explorer refuses to believe does not exist any more. I had a simple page with a couple of hyerlinks on it. I deleted it and recreated it later with completely different hyperlinks. However explorer 5 still displays the original page that no longer exists. Ive had explorer delete all the off-line content which i thought would dump the cache, Ive refreshed the page a million times but the original "ghost" of the deleted page still comes up and i cant get the existing page to come up at all.

any ideas what is going on? help would be appreciated..

Hold down the SHIFT key while hitting refresh, or go to IE, Tools, Internet options, Temporary internet files, Delete files. Restart and try again.
You could manually delete contents of the c:\windows\temporary internet files folder, but you'll also lose the cookies. Cheers,

Refresh only reloads the page from Cache. Shift+refresh forces a new load from the 'net. Cheers,
