Clearing Your Cache Memory (Deleting Your Temporary Internet Files)

Why should I Clear My Browser's Cache (Temporary Internet Files)?

When you visit a website, most of the time your web browser will download and store files from that website to allow for easier viewing the next time you visit the site. In other words, your browser stores a copy of the web page. Typically these items are stored in a folder called "Temporary Internet Files."

By storing such files in your cache (the "Temporary Internet Files" folder)will make your web browsing much faster because your computer will not have to download the same files all over again. Although it makes website viewing more efficient, it can cause some problems. In order to correct these problems and ensure you are viewing the most current version of a website, we recommend you delete these Temporary Internet Files also known as clearing your cache memory.
