hi everyone my name is Kevin today I
want to show you how you could clear
your browser cache as well as all your
cookies and different sites and forms
stored in your browser how do we do it
alright let's jump right to it
Here I am on my desktop and today I'm
going to show you how to do this in
Google Chrome so I'm gonna go ahead and
open up the Chrome browser so here it is
and it's very very simple to do what
we're gonna do is up here in the top
right hand corner you'll see a tiny
little photo of yourself and next to
that you have an ellipses or dot dot dot
what we're going to do is we're going to
click on that and then you have this
menu that appears within the menu we
want to go to more tools and within more
tools you'll see something that says
clear browsing data
what you can also do is if you don't
want to jump through these menus and
have to find it that way you can also
just click on the shortcut key which is
control shift delete so I could also do
that so we're gonna go ahead and click
on that so this brings me into Chrome's
clear browsing data dialog and you'll
see a few different options here so you
have the time range let's say that I
went to a website that I don't want
tracked on my machine and it was in the
last 20 minutes I could just say hey
within the last hour I want to clear any
browsing history I could do the last day
the last week the last four weeks or I
could simply say hey I want to get rid
of everything that's an option I could
get rid of my browsing history so all
the different websites I went to I could
get rid of them I could get rid of
cookies and other site data and I could
also get rid of cached images and files
now one thing is if you went to a
website that you don't want recorded
this is probably a good thing to do the
one thing though is cookies are actually
valuable and the reason why is when you
go to a lot of websites you
automatically sign in they have
something called single sign-on and when
you keep track of cookies and that's how
they're able to do it so if you if you
wipe those out you'll probably have to
log in again to a lot of the websites
you go to similarly similarly with
cached images and files what will happen
is as you go to a lot of websites again
and again and again what they'll do is
they'll cache the images so this way
every time you visit that website you
don't have to redownload the image so
keep in mind that if you are clearing
all of this out there could be some pain
by having the sign in again having
websites take a little bit longer to
load so when there's a site you went to
if that you know maybe you don't want in
your history you know think of the time
range and if it was within the last
or maybe the last day maybe you just
want to remove that so you don't get rid
of all your cookies and all your cached
images but you could decide what you
want to do the capability to remove that
is here so your call on how much you
want to get rid of and then once you
make your selections once you hit your
little boxes here what you're going to
do is you're going to click on clear
data and then that will wipe it out and
that history will be gone from your
machine and really that's as simple as
it is so hopefully this video was

rid of some website that you didn't want
tracked on your machine and if you want
