Change cache location, clear cache#

Overview#

The cache management feature allows you to adjust the data storage location for browser environments and clear local cache files.

In ClonBrowser, each browser environment generates cache data, including:

• Page cache
• Cookie and local storage
• Browsing history and temporary files

This feature is useful if you are facing any of the following:

• Running low on disk space and need to migrate cache location
• Browser environments are running slowly
• You want to clear historical cache to free up space
• Need to store data on a specific disk

Proper cache management can improve operating efficiency and optimize local storage usage.

Step-by-step Instructions#

1. Change Cache Storage Location#

Click the account icon in the top-right corner, then click 「Account Settings」.

On the My Account page, click the 「Local Settings」 tab.

Click the 「Change Directory」 button to select a new storage location (recommended to choose a disk with sufficient space).

After changing the directory, click the 「Save」 button at the bottom. New data will be stored in the new path going forward.

You can also enable auto-cleanup or manually clear cache on this page.

2. Clear All Cache Data#

On the local settings page, click the 「Clear All Cache」 button.

3. Clear Cache for a Single Browser#

On the browser list page, find the browser whose cache you want to clear, click 「More」 in the menu, then select 「Clear Cache」.

Select the content you want to clear, then click clear.

After clearing the cache, it’s recommended to close and restart the browser environment for the changes to take effect.

FAQ#

1. Will changing the cache location affect existing browser environments? It won’t affect the usage of already created environments, but new data will be stored in the new path.

2. Will clearing cache log me out of accounts? Possibly. If Cookie or local storage is cleared, some accounts may need to be logged in again.

3. Can I clear only part of the data? Yes. On the browser list page, choose to clear cache or other data types as needed.

4. Can the cache path be set to an external hard drive? Yes, but ensure the device connection is stable, otherwise it may affect browser operation.

Cache management helps optimize system performance while giving you more flexible control over local data storage.
