How to Remove Temporary Internet Files on Windows

Before You Clean

Browser cache stores reusable website resources. Clearing it can help with stale content, but it does not remove all tracking data or solve every browser fault.

Review and Clean Manually

1. Save work in open tabs. If one website is affected, first try a reload or that site’s specific data controls.

2. Open the browser’s Delete browsing data or equivalent privacy settings.

3. Choose a time range and select only Cached images and files (or the browser’s cache option). Leave cookies, history, passwords, and autofill unselected unless you intentionally want to remove them.

4. Confirm the selection and reload the affected site. The next visit may need to download resources again.

5. If the problem continues, investigate extensions, the network, or the site itself. Do not delete the entire browser profile.

Where Kudu Helps

Kudu’s Browsers category targets cache data. It preserves cookies, browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords, and sessions. Close the browser before cleaning or review the close-browser option in Settings; never delete a whole browser profile to clear cache.

Open Clean up > System Cleaner and run Scan. Review the relevant category and expand its results to inspect the paths. Set exclusions for anything you need to keep, then check the full selected total before Clean. Results search filters the view; it does not erase selections elsewhere.

After cleaning, check the summary and Activity > Cleanup receipts for removed, skipped, or failed items. A receipt is an outcome record, not a backup. Recovery Centre restores supported settings, not deleted files. Compare actual disk free space and test the original symptom; cache removal alone is not a promise of better performance.
