How games in a web browser access temporary files
There is a game on the internet that I play and I used the fiddler to see what temporary files he downloaded. During the game, I deleted all these temporary files, including sounds and flash files. But this did not affect the game at all. Why is this? I checked in fiddler and it doesn't look like the files have been reloaded.

Presumably the browser has loaded the files into memory and also pinned them to disk, so deleting the cached copies prevents the files from continuing to execute in memory. However, if you leave the page and go back, your browser will need to download the files again if they were removed from the disk cache (unless it stores the files cached in memory, YMMV).
