How to clean a cache on a computer for a novice user

In the process of prolonged use of a computer or laptop, the majority of users necessarily have a question: how to clean the cache on the computer? First, there is no memory problem. There is a lot of space, and there is no need to think about its availability. But then, after a while, this question becomes very urgent. The main problem in this case is the accumulation of information, because of which the computer starts to work more slowly. To avoid the occurrence of such a problem, you need to periodically clean the cache. This operation can be done in two ways: using built-in tools and using specialized utilities. Each of them will be considered within the framework of this material.

Browser

Each browser can cache the cache manually. "Mozilla", "Opera", "Chrome" and "Yandex" are built on a single engine. Therefore, they use the same algorithm for performing this procedure. First, hold down Ctrl + Shift and, without releasing them, press Del. The Clear History window appears. In it, we select the time interval for which this operation is to be performed. This is done in the top drop-down list. Then we set the necessary checkboxes and click the button with the inscription "Clear History".

A little more complicated, this operation is performed in Internet Explorer. Go to the "Tools" menu. In it, select "Internet Options". Then go to the "General" tab. On it we find the "Delete" button in the "Viewing History" section. We right click on it. Next, a window opens in which we set the checkboxes to our discretion, and click "Delete". When finished, we close all open windows and continue working in Internet Explorer.

HDD

Now let's look at how to clean the cache on the computer with the help of a conductor. First, start it by pressing the combination of Win + R. In the window that opens, right-click on the shortcut of the first logical volume (usually the "C:" section). In the list that appears, select the "Properties" item. Then we find the button with the inscription "Disk Cleanup" and click on it. We only install the "Temporary Internet files" check box. The rest should not be active. Later
Click on "Ok". We wait for the cleaning to finish and close all the previously opened windows. Similarly, we clean all other physical and logical volumes on the computer.

Specialized Software

The easiest way to clear the cache memory with the help of specialized utilities. The most popular product of this class is Ccleaner, developed by Piriform. It can also optimize the operating system registry and remove programs. Another plus of this utility is that it is absolutely free. The procedure for working with it is as follows. Download its installation version from the official developer site. Then install it, following the instructions of the wizard. We launch it by double clicking on the shortcut, which is located on the desktop. In the window that opens, go to the "Cleaning" tab (located at the top right of the screen). A window with two tabs will open: Windows and "Applications". On each of them we set the necessary flags, then we press the "Analysis" button. We wait for its termination and we press "Clearing". When finished, you can close the program. This is the easiest way to clean the cache on your computer. There is only one disadvantage to this solution - the need to install additional software.

Summary

Within the framework of this material, various ways of how to clean the cache on a computer have been described. System tools can be used for these purposes, but this is not entirely convenient in practice. Therefore, it is better to install a specialized utility and use it. It does not take much space, but it is much easier to perform this operation with the help of it.
