History, Cache, etc ...

Hello

 

Is there an option to limit the cache size (for navigation, etc ...)
In 5mn, the User Data directory has increased by 300Mb, returned to normal by removing Cache, history, etc ... in Canary

 

I'm trying to go from Edge to Canary, but it's not easy when we're used :smile:

 

Thanks

      Ok thanks

       

      The HTLM5 asks for so much Cache ??
      I found this for Chrome, it seems to work for Edge too (just the name of the registry key to change)
      To put with other entries that we can have (UserFeedbackAllowed, etc ...)
       
      - Open the Windows Registry by tapping on Windows-R, typing regedit and hitting the enter key.Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Edge
      - Add the Dword DiskCacheSize with a right-click on Chromium and the selection of new > Dword (32-bit value) from the context menu.
      - Give it a value in bytes.

        Hello

        Does the Disk Cache Size option work in edge://policy/ ?

        I set for a size, but very often this size is exceeded
        Or I may have been wrong with the value indicated in the registry

        Thanks
