According to my server, the _vti_pvt directory contains a large amount of
data that may be the result of spam replies to the forms on my website. I
need to know how to access this directory to delete this data. I am using
FrontPage 2003
 
The _vti_pvt does not store any web generated content and it's files should not be edited or deleted

I suspect you mean the _hidden folder named _private (where form results are often stored)
Tools Site Setting Advanced - Show Hidden files to see it

Thanks Stefan, that does help me with where the forms results go, however
there is still a large amount of space being used by the _vti_pvt file. On
the site the _vti_pvt is showing a size of 14MB out of a total for the site
of 30MB with 23MB of that being images! Do you have any ideas as to what
this file contains and how it got so large compared with the same file on my
other sites?
Thanks again.
