When you
are surfing Internet using any kind of Web Browser, we say as example Internet
Explorer, Chrome (I use this one basically for Windows 7 and Windows 8),
Firefox, Opera and you view the pages on the web, these files are saved on the hard
drive, in an automatic way, and it have nothing to do with your will to approve
them or not. These files are normally called browser cache. Other people call
them temporary internet folder.
Where are these files saved on your
computer?
Each
browser has its proper location on the hard drive to save these ‘cache’ files,
and each one of them has the proper clearing way. You must take care of this
situation because if you fail on it and cache files are cleaned out or cleared regularly
and often, they can start to take a big amount of your computer hard drive. So,
different browsers have different place to store and different way to clear the
cache files. I will show you in this article the different methods, for the
main web browsers that you can find now in the market.
Clear the cache or temporary internet files
for Internet Explorer.
You must
open a new browser in the first action to clear the cache or temporary internet
folder for Internet Explorer, and then from the top menu,
select ‘Tools’, continue to this click on ‘Internet Options’, that from the
drop down menu is the last option. Once this new window opens, look for a button
called ‘Delete Files’, click on it, then click the box called ‘Delete all
offline content’, and last click Ok. Depending of the amount of files you are
trying to clear, this will take a while to make the process because maybe there
are a lot of files that you need to delete. When you finish, click ‘Ok’ and
close the open window.
Clear the cache or temporary internet files
for Opera.
First
action to clear the cache or temporary internet files for Opera is to open the
browser window and then from the top menu, select ‘Tools’, and from the drop
down select ‘Preferences’. On the Preferences screen, to the left hand side, you
must click on the label ‘History and Cache’. On a button that says ‘Empty now’,
exactly to the right side of the window, click there to select this button. Now
again, depending of the amount of files you are trying to clear, this will take
a while to make the process because maybe there are a lot of files that you need
to delete. When you finish, click ‘Ok’ and close the open window.
Clear the cache or temporary internet files
for Firefox.
Cleaning
Firefox’s cache is quite similar to other browsers. First, open a Firefox
browser window; go to ‘Tools’ from the drop down menu, and click there. Select ‘Options’.
Second, when the window has open, you must click on the icon labeled ‘Privacy’,
located on the left. On the right hand of the new screen opened, you will have
another button that states ‘Clear’, just to the right side of the word ‘Cache’.
You must click here to clear the Firefox cache. And again, depending of the
amount of files you are trying to clear, this will take a while to make the process
because maybe there are a lot of files that you need to delete. When you finish,
click ‘Ok’ and close the open window.
Clear the cache or temporary internet files for Chrome.
To clear the cache in
Chrome is similar to the other browsers, but, of course, you need to know where
start and what are you looking for. Your first step is to open the web browser
and locate the button “Customize and control Google Chrome’, is an icon like a
wrench, on the right hand side of the screen, click on that button. On the drop
down menu that opens roll your mouse over ‘Tools’ and click on ‘Clear Browsing
Data’. In the new tab that opens select ‘Empty the cache’ or leave the defaults
selected and click on ‘Clear Browsing Data’ button. Depending of the amount of files
you are trying to clear, this will take a while to make the process because maybe
there are a lot of files that you need to delete. When you finish, click ‘Ok’
and close the open window.
I hope that this
review points about the internet browser’s cache will be interesting and useful
for you, but the only way I can know about that is if you take a moment and
leave me any comment or opinion you may have.
I love all details that you give in your articles.
