  1. Thanks, great

  2. Tariq Jamil says

    you can use hobocopy to copy youtube and similar files from Chrome Cache before you clear it !!!!!

  3. just as i thought. google doesn’t want you to clean all cache/history/cookies. this is how they make money. sounds like a class action lawsuit to me.

  4. I had hoped for more from Google Chrome and its cache and am very sorry to find it has the same problems as the Internet Explorer cache – it DOES NOT fully empty even when I choose to delete all files.

    This is a total pain for a web developer, since simple changes to stylesheets or images are not always reflected when I refresh the page I am working on.

    As much as I am getting tired of Firefox and its endless bugs (which don’t affect my development), I have no choice other than to turn to it again.

  5. Hey,

    Could any one say me how the images are stored in GOOGLE CHROME BROWSER.

    I was wondering to know what technology might had been used to display those images.

    Thank You in advance…

  6. I think Google Chrome Cache Folder can contain not only useful info for further use, but also unnecessary and sometimes compromising data.
    How can I delete those those files on a regular basis? Is CCleaner helpful in this case?

    • Is CCleaner helpful in this case? Yes. As long as you have all instances of Google Chrome closed, CCleaner will allow you to clear the temporary files and cache it leaves behind.
