Clear Internet Browsers Cache/ Clear Cookies

Helpful steps on how to clear the cache of your internet programs to allow your browser to function more efficiently. When your internet cache fills up, performance can slow down and your hard drive may run out of space. It’s recommended to clean your browsers cache at least once a month for optimized performance of web browsing. How does your internet cache fill up so quickly? Well every time you surf the internet & go to your favorite websites, they cache or “store” your settings. So basically when you revisit that page, the entire html does not have to completely reload every time. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes bad. If you surf as many internet sites as I do, that’s a lot of stored data taking up space on your harddrive! Just follow these simple steps in clearing it out:
