Clean up Internet Browser, Erase Internet Explorer caches & tracks
All cache files stored in your cache take up space, so from time to time, you may want to clear out the files stored in your cache to free up some space on your computer. This is called clearing the cache.
Often referred to as the cache, the Temporary Internet Files folder contains a kind of travel record of the items you have seen, heard, or downloaded from the Web, including images, sounds, Web pages, even cookies. Typically these items are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Storing these files in your cache can make browsing the Web faster because it usually takes your computer less time to display a Web page when it can call up some of the page's elements or even the entire page from your local Temporary Internet Files folder.
 Have you ever tried to log onto the Internet using MS Explorer for Windows and had a hard time getting online? Perhaps the computer you were using was running a bit slow, but your internet connection was fine. So why do our computers get so sluggish every once in a while? Think of this: every time you view a web page on your computer browser it has to download all of the files. Many times, it will cache, or save these files so the next time you access the same page on the web it loads much faster. Unfortunately this process is also self defeating. As many computers fill up their memory entirely with these cached files and begin to run slow as a snail. Here is how you easily get rid of this clutter once and for all!
How to Clean Up Internet Explorer Files and Browsing History
- Open Internet Explorer on your desktop. This may take a few seconds or a few minutes for Windows to open.
- Access the tools. On the upper middle of the screen there is a menu bar with several commands. Left-click the tab that is labeled, "tools." Then click Internet Options. The Internet Options box should open to the General tab.
- On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete button.
- Delete browsing history. A drop-down menu will open which has several commands. The command at the top is labeled "delete browsing history" left-click this command.
- Select delete functions. The delete browsing history box will open and you will be able to select from many files to delete. Left-click the "delete all" button in the lower left-hand corner of the box. This may take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes for you computer to process.
- Reboot computer. Now that all of your extra files are gone, restart your computer to optimize the speed.
