I suspect the it's IE7's default cache size being too high (by default it's more than 1GB! Which is just silly because that will just make IE slow down to a crawl) and IE7 keeping up to 20 days of your browsing history.

Refer to the following site: http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html
to reduce your cache and reduce the number of days of browsing history to about 7 or whatever you are comfortable with.

Hope that helps.
