Index.dat is the Internet Explorer cache index file. It facilitates the
browser cache mechanism that speeds access to frequently accessed web pages
across different browser processes in the same user context

You can delete the file using recoveryconsole.
It will simply be recreated again.
There are several third party tools that will facilitate removing the file
at windows shutdown.
