All Internet users have to clean the cache from time to time , or delete temporary files from a special storage in which the browser saves copies of visited web pages. He does this so that when a user returns to previously viewed pages, they should not be downloaded from the server, but from the cache.
Thus, the cache offloads the network and allows the browser to quickly provide the client with the necessary information.
However, temporary files containing a large number of graphics gradually accumulate in the storage, taking up space on the hard disk and loading memory, which slows down the computer and displays web pages incorrectly. Therefore, the cache should be cleaned regularly, especially when actively watching and downloading videos, music or photos.
The cleaning process is very simple and does not take time at all. The user does not have access to the folder with temporary files through the computer, so deleting the history is done through the browser. In all browsers, it starts with the settings menu and has slight differences.
