Do you want to clear something specific without clearing the whole thing then?
(Otherwise, it's Tools > Options > Privacy, then Clear the Cache option.) |

I use about:cache?device=disk to fish something out of my cache in firefox.
Just type the bold text into the address space. |

If you do what Pijaibros selected, you'll have a long-ass list of all the files currently in your cache. If you know what file you're looking for, you might be able to text-search for it. I'm not sure if the link to it in the description that's generated is to the cached version of the file or whether it's a link. If it's the latter, you might have to do a hard-drive search for it, since it should be in one of your Temp folders somewhere. |
