# Clear the cache

A browser cache stores copies of pages, images, videos, and other content that you viewed in the browser. It reduces the number of requests to sites: if the page that you want to view is already in the cache, the browser instantly downloads it from your hard drive.

Clear the cache regularly to free up memory on your hard disk and prevent pages from being displayed incorrectly, for example, in an outdated design.

Select your device type, operating system, or browser:
