Clearing your browser cache can help free up some space in C drive on Windows 11/10, especially if you browse a lot and store many temporary files. Here's how to clear cache in the most common browsers:
Google Chrome:
- Open Chrome.
- Click the three dots menu in the top-right corner.
- Go to More tools > Clear browsing data.
- Choose the time range (e.g., "All time" to clear everything).
- Check Cached images and files (you can also clear cookies if desired).
- Click Clear data.
Mozilla Firefox:
- Open Firefox.
- Click the three lines menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings.
- Go to Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to Cookies and Site Data and click Clear Data.
- Check Cached Web Content.
- Click Clear.
Microsoft Edge:
- Open Edge.
- Click the three dots menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings.
- Go to Privacy, search, and services.
- Under Clear browsing data, click Choose what to clear.
- Select Cached images and files (and other data if needed).
- Click Clear now.
Clearing cache won't delete your saved passwords or browsing history unless you choose those options. Clearing cache can improve browser performance and free up space in C drive on Windows 11/10, especially if cache files are large.
