Index.dat files
Index.dat files are used by Internet Explorer to record information about Internet sites that have been visited and details of cookies being stored on your computer. Whenever you visit different web sites, information about web site address, time of visit, images, scripts, tracking cookies and web page contents are saved to your hard drive to speed up access to the site if you visit it again.
There are three index.dat files used by Internet Explorer - history index.dat file, cookies index.dat file, cache index.dat file.
Problem
Although index.dat files are useful, they can compromise your privacy as any person who has some knowledge about index.dat files and has access to your computer can see the history of your Internet activities.
Index.dat files are system files and they can't be deleted manually as they are used by Windows all the time (index.dat files are locked by Windows). Their content is not deleted even if you erase browser history, cache and cookies. Using ClearAllHistory you can easily erase index.dat files content and delete index.dat files.
