It is the cache memory that allows web pages to load faster, since partially the information is loaded from the PC hard drive, and not from the server.
Each browser has the ability to save temporary files to a folder that is predefined. In most cases, direct user access to this folder is limited. That is why the manufacturers of each browser have provided a certain way to clear the cache.

Then, in the window that opens, select the Tools item, then the item bearing the name “Clear viewing data”.
