Browsers appeared with the advent of the Internet, and their main purpose is to provide any user with information through a visual interface. With the help of an Internet browser, you can view web pages of sites, listen to music, watch movies, chat with friends. Yandex.Browser is an advanced development of Russian programmers, designed for "travels" across network resources. For it to work correctly, you need to periodically clear the cache.
What is a cache and why clear it
The browser cache is a special folder that stores copies of data about the sites visited by the user and all actions performed by him at that time. During the re-browsing of web pages, there will no longer be a request for information, they will simply be retrieved from the cache and displayed in the browser window. When using the cache, network load is reduced and the time it takes to load the necessary pages is reduced.
Where is stored
Sometimes it becomes necessary to view or copy Yandex.Browser cache data, for example, when various technical support requests are sent to your address or in case of searching for lost information about visiting a site, etc. The cache is located in a special folder on your computer or mobile device.

~\Library\Caches\ Since the data that is cached is generated by the browser, it is stored in NSCachesDirectory, for which a separate folder can be created, for example, MyAppCache. In this case, one of the methods for storing temporary data can be used: NSKeyedArchiver, NSURLCache, SQLite, Core Data. |

The folder is designed to store user data. Also, the information may be in an archived form in the Android\obb folder. The device cache is located in the wipe\cache directory, and the cache system applications in wipe\dalvik-cache. |

Hello. Today we will figure out how to clear the cache in Yandex Browser. It is very simple to do this - literally in a couple of mouse clicks, so let's not delay, but get down to business right away.
So, to clear the cache in the browser, click on the three horizontal bars in the upper right corner:
and select "History" from the drop-down menu - and again "History":
or, for quick access to the "History" tab, just remember the hot keys: Ctrl + H - just press this combination and a window with the entire browser history will open in front of you. And at the top right, click on "Clear history":
the following window will appear:
here, firstly, select the period for which you want to delete all the garbage, all the accumulated browser cache - the drop-down item "Delete entries" - "For all time" (1) - you can select any period, see for yourself, I usually always I choose to delete for the entire period.
The only thing is cookies (cookies) - these are the files responsible for authorization on the site - after clearing them, you will have to log in again, they store the settings of the sites you visit (time, region, etc.), as well as Cookies are very important for making purchases in online stores, without which it will simply not be possible to make a purchase. Of course, cookies must be deleted if you are working on someone else's computer. At home, you can only do this periodically, let's say, about once a month or three, so as not to constantly enter logins and passwords on your favorite sites.
The browser cache itself is the third item, namely: “Files saved in the cache”, but also “Browsing history” (1st item), of course, it also makes sense to clear it from prying eyes.
Everything else, the last 3 points, I prefer not to delete, especially saved passwords, if you save data for accessing sites, then do not forget to uncheck the corresponding item.
In general, you have chosen everything that you want to delete and click "Clear history" (3). After some time, depending on the accumulated garbage in your browser, all data will be deleted.
How often to clear the browser cache?
The cache itself, I would advise you to clean it a couple of times a month, more often it is hardly necessary. And if you need to cover your tracks, then of course clean it immediately after you finish the job. Cookies, on the other hand, can be deleted much, much less often, or you can do without this procedure altogether.
Yes, cookies can be disabled completely, but whatever one may say, they are still needed for the normal operation of most sites. If you, when visiting any portals, do not want cookies to be stored, you can simply enter the “Incognito” mode in the Yandex browser - to do this, press the key combination - Ctrl + Shift + N - it will open new page of this kind:
and in this mode, no data, including the cache, will be saved to your computer.
That's it. And that's all I have. There will be questions - write in the comments!

The Thumbs.db file is used by operating systems Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista and other Microsoft operating systems. The file is created on the first and subsequent opening of a folder with graphic images. It stores folder thumbnails for Explorer's Page Thumbnails mode. The need to prevent the creation of the Thumbs.db file can arise for various reasons. The presence of such a file in the distribution folder through the tracker can lead to a change in the distribution hash with all the ensuing consequences. If the folder contains a lot graphic images, then the total size of thumbnail files can be quite significant, which slows down the opening of the folder with images.

Hello everyone So let's talk about the cache in Yandex Browser, tell you what it is and how to clean it. Yandex Browser, like all browsers, uses a cache to speed up page loading, although in fact the cache does not increase speed, but the same pages will obviously load faster. But why? The cache, in fact, is a folder where Yandex Browser throws all files from sites that do not change. For look, why load constantly what has no changes? It is better to download once, put it in the cache and then, if necessary, get it out again.
Well, that is, the cache is used for invariable parts of the site, such as pictures, buttons, well, there is something else, all sorts of background images and so on. But as you already understand, the average user watches a lot of sites, probably even a lot, and over time this cache fills up too much. A well-known problem of many browsers is that the cache overflows and Windows starts to get stupid. I don't know why, but I personally didn't have this problem.
Well, now let's move on to the most important thing. The Yandex Browser cache is located here:
C:\Users\VirtMachine\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\Cache
Where VirtMachine is, then here is the name of your computer, well, that is the name account. Here is what I have in this folder:
Here are all these obscure files, this is the cache. In principle, to clear the cache, you can delete everything in this folder. But I'm honestly not sure if this is the right way.
It is better to start the browser and clear the cache in it, so let's start it:
Then we call the browser menu and select the item in it Advanced\u003e Clear history:
You can also get into this setting if you go to the following path in the address:
browser://settings/clearBrowserData
Then a window will appear in front of you, here you need to put only ONE tick, the one that refers to clearing the cache, this checkbox:
You also need to select in the menu for all the time so that the cache is completely deleted, well, then click Clear History and that's it, the cache will be deleted all in Yandex Browser!
But do you need to clear the cache? And here I don’t even know what to answer, the fact is that the cache itself, as it seems to me, cannot slow down Windows. Or a browser. Because the cache is a dead weight and the maximum that it can do is eat up hard drive space. However, many users say that this cache slows down the browser. Well, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. By the way, to clean your computer from unnecessary files, some kind of garbage, I advise you to use a free CCleaner utility. It is easy to download on the Internet. Many users already know how cool this program is.
