Where is "AssetCache" located?
"find" from my home directory sees only as follows ~$ find . -name "AssetCache" ./.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache ./.config/google-chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/CacheWritableAdobeRoot/AssetCache
I assume the AssetCache inquestion is related to "./.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache"
