But Williams insisted he did not realise the police would be involved.

But prosecutor Peter Davies questioned Williams overwhy the very next day he deleted 207 files from his computer''s temporary internet cache.

He said: "I never, ever thought it was a sinister activity. I thought it was a way of making my computer work more effectively.

"I guess I would do it every week or two. The reason was totally innocuous."

He insisted he regularly removed files from his computer when it was running slowly or freezing.

Williams denies 10 charges of downloading indecent images.
