Here is an easy way to clear out your net cache and history folders just add the following lines to your user shutdown script, found here /boot/home/config/boot/UserShutdownScript

rm -f ~/config/settings/NetPositive/NetCache/*

rm -rf ~/config/settings/NetPositive/History/*

Now every time you shutdown the contents of Netpositive's history and cache folders will be deleted.
