   Apparently it's the cache for offline (network) files which is disabled   
   here. I can see it in Explorer but couldn't read or get in so took admin   
   ownership (it belonged to system) and set permissions. I don't know why   
   the indexer would want to include such a directory that can't normally   
   be accessed, especially labelling it or its content with an   
   incomprehensible URI.

   Just two files (pq, sm) of a few bytes, empty namespace and temp   
   directories in mine. Thanks for helping to clear this up.
