After browsing Internet sites in Opera, as in other browsers, a lot of saved information remains - cache and cookies. In some cases, they only take up extra space on the computer's hard drive, but in some they can cause hacking.
Instructions
Step 1
Launch Opera browser. To do this, select the "Start" menu -> "All Programs" -> Opera. If there is a program shortcut on the desktop, you can launch the browser by double-clicking on it. You can also double-click on the launch file in the program folder in Program Files to launch the application.
Step 2
There are two ways to clear the cache in the Opera browser. To clear the cache in the first way in earlier versions of the program, select "Tools" -> "Settings" -> "Advanced" -> "History" and opposite the item "Disk cache" click the "Clear" button.
