How to clear the cache

A browser cache stores copies of pages, images, videos, and other content you've previously viewed.

It reduces the number of site requests: if the page is already in the cache, the browser loads it directly from your hard drive.

Clear the cache regularly to free up space on your hard drive and prevent pages from displaying outdated content or incorrect formatting.

Select your device type, operating system, or browser:

On a computer:

• Microsoft Edge
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Opera
• Safari

On a mobile device:

Android:

• Google Chrome

❗Important: Clearing the cache does not delete saved passwords, but it may log you out of some websites.

Clearing your browser cache helps ensure you see the latest version of websites, fixes loading issues, and frees up storage space.
