Thread: How to clean out Internet cache

How often should I empty my Temporary Internet Cache?

The purpose of the Internet cache is to store pages and images you have lately visited so that you will not have to download them when you visit the site again. However, since there is only a certain amount of disk space for the cache, it has to erase files when new ones are added. Having a full cache is not something you should be concerned about, though it may cause a temporary slow down when a large number of cached documents are removed at one time. Still, the advantages of caching far outweigh this minor speed bump. The disadvantage of the Temporary Internet Cache is that sometimes files in the cache get corrupted and can cause problems with your browser. So it is a good suggestion to empty the Temporary Internet Cache every weeks or so no matter how much space it is taking up.
