Microsoft Edge users can automatically delete their browser cache and cookies thanks to its advanced settings. By simply enabling the option to clear history, cache and data each time you close the browser, it will clear all the information in an instant.
Let’s look at first why many people choose to clear cache. First, it frees up space on your device since cache and data are piling up every time you use the browser. Second, it maintains privacy as no private information is stored. Lastly, it helps in fixing possible errors in the browser.
However, if you are among those who do not want their cache and data automatically deleted without their consent, there is a way to stop Microsoft Edge from doing so.
So, why not allow Microsoft Edge to automatically delete cache and cookies? You might close your browser or do the regular rebooting to refresh your device and suddenly, you’ll asked to sign in to your online accounts all over again. It slows down the initial loading times. A lot of people prioritize loading time, especially if they have many things to do. If you delete the cache, the website will need to start from scratch in rebuilding the cache. It also removes certain information that you will need to manually input again the next time you visit the site. These may not include logins or downloaded files.
Steps to Prevent Microsoft Edge from Automatically Deleting Cache and Cookies Data
If you do not want Microsoft Edge from clearing cache and cookies automatically, here are the steps you need to follow.
On your Microsoft Edge browser, go to the upper right corner and click the three-dotted icon. Choose Settings and click Privacy, Search, and Services. Head over to the Clear Browsing Data On Close.
You need to toggle the option button on Cookies and Other Site Data. While you’re there, you can also toggle the buttons to off on all the options. This will stop your browser from instantly deleting the files from these options. However, you can always customize it the way you want.
To Sum Up
Clearing the browser cache and data has its own pros and cons. All you have to do is know what is best for your needs. You can always go back to the steps above if you change your mind.
