Yes
That just deletes the web cache file (*.web) for the currently open web (but not the *.web file for your published web location)
- corrupt *.web cache files are caused by any publishing failure or abnormal termination of FP
The FP Temp Files are in the "FP Temp" Folder (usually in your windows default temp folder location)

| Is this different than doing the following in FP?:
|

| under Temporary Files, click Delete Files.
|
| If so, how do I search for FP Temp files (i.e., what is the file
| extension(s), where am I likely to find them, and do I run any risk of
| mistaking a vital file for an FP Temp file if I don't know what I'm doing)?
|
| Anyway, I did the FP method of deleting the temp files, and I also deleted
| all the local hidden *.web files as you suggested in 2) below, and that has
| apparently fixed my problem! I successfully published from my home PC for

|
| I am still curious as to why this problem occurred, if you have any
| thoughts.
