The browser cache is a certain amount of space allocated for storing temporary files of frequently visited servers. This is done in order to increase the speed of the Internet by accessing them while visiting sites and saving traffic. Periodically, the cache needs to be cleaned, because its free volume gradually decreases, slowing down the usual rhythm of working on the network.
Necessary
a computer with the Opera browser installed on it
Instructions
Step 1
Open your browser. Click on the "Menu" button, then select "Settings", then - "General settings". You will see a window with several tabs, select the last one - "Advanced".
Step 2
A menu will appear in the open tab, select the "History" item in it.
Step 3
Opposite the "Disk history" item, click the "Clear" button.
Step 4
If you need to automatically clear the cache when you exit the browser, then check the box next to the corresponding setting in the same window.
Step 5
If the previous points did not help, use the alternative option to clear the temporary browser memory. Open the "Main Menu", select the "Settings" item. Find the "Delete personal data" menu in the window that opens and expand the entire list of available saved files of the browser user. Select "Clear Cache". Be sure to uncheck the boxes that you need for further work.
Step 6
If the previous two methods did not help, try deleting files manually. To do this, close the Opera browser, open "My Computer". Open your local drive where the system files are stored. Go to the “Documents and Settings” folder, then to the folder with the name of the computer user.
Step 7
After that, add in the address bar: “Local Settings / Application Data / Opera / Opera / profile / cache /”, or just go to this address, opening the corresponding folders. In the "Tools" menu, which is located at the top, open the "Folder Options" item.
Step 8
Go to the "View" tab, scroll the list of attributes to the very end. Check the box "Show hidden folders and files", click "Apply" and "OK". This should only be done if hidden files were not shown before.
Step 9
Next, select all the data in the folder by pressing the Ctrl and A keys at the same time, then the Del button. Confirm deletion for protected files, restart your browser.
