    Go to Tools, click on Internet Options. Under the General tab in the middle you will see Temporary Internet Files. Click on Delete Files and make sure you check the box that says Delete all offline content.

    HTH

    Your star is actully a pic with the address: http://img.moneysavingexpert.com/rating/rating_1.gif

    To make people see hearts, the team must have removed the star pic and put up heart pics with the same webaddress so that when a computer looked for the star pic, it found and displayed a heart pic instead.

    The problem is that your computer tries to save time and effort by re-using images stored in temp internet files. Eg the rating pic would have been saved on the last visit to MSE

    so sometimes when browsing the internet, you see old pics because your computer doesn't know to check for a new one - unless you empty the temp files

    I've clicked delete in the past only to find they're still there.

    If you click settings (on the right of the delete button in Internet Options) and click view files, you can see what's in there - and if needed highlight everything and delete it


    But you're cookies are in there so you might have to re-login to sites if you delete them
