Clearing your Internet Cache

When you browse the internet your computer takes a note of the pages you have accessed and saves pages and images so the net time you go to that page it does not have to download the pictures again - speeding up internet access time.

The trouble with this system is that you may visit a site and never need to go back there, but the pages are still saved on your computer, clogging it up. So it is a good idea to clear it out every so often.

1. Click on the "Start" button

2. Select "Settings"

6. Tick the "Delete all offline content" box by clicking in it

7. Click "OK", and you will be returned to the options window.

8. Now click the "Clear History" button, which is towards the bottom of the page, and you will be asked to confirm you want to do this
