We work with the cache on Windows Phone - what is it and how can it be cleared. How to clean your phone from microsoft junk. Overview of the Edge browser and solutions to common problems Delete the Microsoft Edge cache

Some users have already switched to the new Microsoft Edge.

Not everyone knows where the cache is located in this browser. But working with this information affects the speed of the program itself.

Therefore, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the main recommendations.

Working with the cache in the new Microsoft Edge browser

When any site opens, information about it is saved on the PC in automatic mode. This is required in order to use local storage. Then pages load faster from it. But after some time, there are too many such pages in the repository. Because of this, less and less space is being created on the system drive C.

Clear cache in Microsoft Edge browser

The step-by-step instruction for performing this action will look like the following.

1. We start by opening the browser itself. In the upper right corner we find the icon with three horizontal dots, and click on it. Select the item with Options in the window that appears after that.
2. In the next menu there will be an item with clearing browser data.
3. Uncheck the box for passwords. And click on clear.

This completes the main steps.

Using CCleaner to clean

First you need to download this application, and then run it on the computer itself. We need the "Cleaning" tab. Next - information about "Applications". It is necessary to check the box next to the item with the Internet cache. After that, just click on the button offering to analyze.

The application itself will calculate and show exactly how many files will be deleted after processing. Then click on cleanup.

How to reset browser?

This solution is relevant for those who have problems in their work even after the previous procedures have been successful. It is better to try a soft reset before deciding to reinstall the browser itself.

Performing a Soft Reset

In the upper right corner of the browser, click on the three dots in the horizontal plane. Then the context menu will open, where we need information about the Parameters. It is also better to use the pin icon so that the settings menu is saved.

You need to scroll down the window until a message appears with the option to clear all browser data. Under this item there will be a function for selecting those elements that require deletion. You can select the "More" option for more options. Removal is also available for:

1. Compatibility permissions.
2. Permissions to open the window in full screen.
3. Location permissions.
4. Pop-up exceptions.
5. Licenses for multimedia files.

If the error turned out to be related to the program itself, then such data cleaning will not help. This is an option for users who only have trouble logging in to certain pages. You can clear the history in the cache and cookies, information on visited sites. It should not lie in the computer for too long.

About hard reset

You can also remove Edge from the operating system. To restart the installation. And get the browser the way it originally came with the operating system itself.

PowerShell is one of the most accessible tools to make this task easier. You need to download the Reset_Microsot_Edge.xipm archive, proceed to unpack it. After that, right-click on the program file. Select "Run with PowerShell" from the context menu.

After that, you can add one of two commands to the script.

1. remove-item $env:localappdata\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\* -recurse -Force 2>$null
2. Either Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach (Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose) .

Thanks to the first command, the browser installation package is removed from the operating system. The second command is needed to re-add Microsoft Edge.

After the script is executed, Microsoft Edge will become the default browser.

Removing passwords from the cache

Passwords are usually stored in the settings of the Windows operating system itself. To get to this part, you need to go to the Control Panel. It's easy to find if you use the search. In the panel itself, we are looking for an item with User Accounts.

The Account Manager will appear. Select Manage your data. After that, the user will be taken to the password manager. The arrow on the right and the Show function must be selected if you want to see all the characters that have ever been entered on sites.

To remove passwords, just select the desired entry, and then right-click on it. The required function will appear by itself. In general, storing passwords in the browser is not recommended. It is better to use special programs for this. One of the best programs for this is Keepass. This will also allow you to unload the cache from unnecessary information. And make room for other entries.

Clearing the cache does not take much time, even for novice users. But this is a useful operation that allows you to speed up the browser. And correct mistakes.

Many people often ask what a cache is and how it works, and after they know how it works, another logical question follows: “How do I clear the browser cache on my computer?”. If you do not yet know what caching is and how to delete files from this operation, this article is for you.

What is a cache and how does it work

Whenever you write a request in your browser or enter the address of a site you want to visit, the browser stores the response from the server on your hard drive. The response is the HTML pages, files and images that you view (in a word, all this is called content). The next time you enter the same site address again, for example, the cache will use the previously saved result instead of contacting the server again to download the content.

Developers have implemented this feature in their browsers for several reasons:

1. Reducing the load on network traffic(in other words, a decrease in the amount of data that is pumped through your Internet channel). This property is especially relevant when using mobile traffic, which costs a lot of money and the amount of data transferred is limited.
2. Decrease in time waiting for a response and download. The data on request is already located on your computer or mobile device and, accordingly, there is no need to wait for a response from the server, which may be overloaded or not responding at all.

Every browser has a built-in caching service that allocates space on your hard drive or memory card for storage. And you constantly use this cache by pressing, for example, the “back” button or clicking on a link that you recently viewed. The browser will automatically load the saved files.

In order for you not to constantly view the same outdated page, the browser checks whether the content stored on disk is outdated in relation to the page on the server and, if there are no updates, loads the cache from disk. If the page is refreshed, but permanent elements (for example, navigation buttons) are used on it all the time, the browser will take only these elements from the cache, and load the rest of the content from the site. This is a very simple algorithm that allows you to significantly speed up the Internet and save traffic.

Hello everyone, we continue to study Microsoft Outlook and the next question is how to clear the outlook cache from old recipients. The outlook cache is understood as the function of auto-completion of the postal address. For those who actively use this mail client, this knowledge will be useful.

clearing outlook cache

Let's see how the outlook cache is cleared and why we do it. Let me remind you that when you create a new letter, the auto-fill function of the postal address helps you quickly substitute the desired addressee, just enter the first letters of the postal address, everything is cool, but there comes a time when the number of addresses accumulates, an example would be accounting departments or even logisticians who often communicate with partners, and the outlook cache function is no longer just not convenient, but hemorrhoids, as it can substitute addresses that are no longer relevant, for example, quit employees or customers.

As a result, the outlook cache needs to be cleared, the easiest option is to delete unnecessary addresses right on the spot. If you move the mouse cursor over the address, a cross will appear next to it, clicking on which will remove it from the auto-completion list. This is good if you want to delete a couple of recipients like this, but let's say we need to delete everything in bulk.

It is not at all difficult to do this - the corresponding button is in the program settings

Options -> Mail tab -> Clear Auto-Complete List

Clearing the auto-complete list is the same as clearing the outlook cache.

I don’t remember if this can be done with group policies, but I know for sure that it can be done by running the powershell script or just locally in it the command

outlook. exe /CleanAutoCompleteCache
