Empty Browser Cache

To speed up website loading times, browsers store the text and images from previously visited websites in cache files on your Mac. Over time these cache files can grow very large, eating up your disk space.

If you want to free up some disk, and/or remove traces of the websites you visited, MainMenu lets you empty your browser cache quickly and conveniently.

To empty the browser cache:

  1. Choose User > Empty Browser Cache.
  2. If you use only one browser, select your browser. If you use more than one browser, select All Browsers

Tip: if you want to remove further traces of the websites you visited you should also empty your browser history and flush your DNS cache.
