The release of beta testing of Windows 10 has borne fruit for Microsoft. Many users around the world already have on their computers installed Windows 10. Everyone wants to try out the new features and interface of the latest brainchild of Microsoft. There are many questions about new technologies in Windows 10. In particular, about the new Edge browser, created with the aim of replacing the already familiar (and annoying) Internet Explorer.
Microsoft Edge Browser, according to Microsoft developers, was created to replace the old IE forever, which will have to go down in history. It is noteworthy that on Enterprise-type releases, the standard browser is still Internet Explorer and there is no opportunity to try Edge there. The browser was created with the aim of being a truly worthy replacement. You can easily notice that Edge is pretty fast. Especially when compared to IE. Some tend to think that Edge is the fastest of all browsers. According to official data, Microsoft Edge is 112% faster than the popular Google chrome... There are quite a few disputes on this matter. But one thing we can know for sure: Edge offers many features not found in other modern browsers.
As new opportunities open up, users face more complex questions. Nobody wants to lose the old functionality from other browsers. A very common question is how to disable the cache in Edge. In reality, the answer to this question is not obvious. Let's first figure out (for those who already know: we will repeat) what it is all about.
Let's remember how the pages are opened in the browser. When making a request to any address, the browser generates a request and sends it to the server on which the requested site is located. If all is well, the server sends packets of information to the browser, which the browser receives and forms a web page from them. We see it on our screens. Each time such a request is made, we load both the server and the browser. Depending on the speed of our Internet (in fact, the speed of transferring and receiving requests from the server). Therefore, the caching technology was invented. The cache is a special area in the computer's memory that stores data that has the highest priority when this data is requested. That is, when we request a page, if there is information from this page in the cache memory of our computer, the browser will not send a request to the server to receive new information packets. Instead, it will download data from the cache. This allows you not to waste time on unnecessary queries. Important! The cache does not work with text data. Only files, images, various page color styles, etc. are cached.
We figured out what caching is. Why should the cache be disabled or cleared? The fact is that the browser will all the time try to "slip" the old data to us, because it is faster and more profitable. However, if, for example, you are developing your website or ordered development, and at the same time changes on the site occur every minute, it will be very inconvenient for you to refresh the pages 5-10 times while waiting for a new request to the server, and not getting information from the cache.
Many browsers allow us to clear the cache, but do not provide the ability to disable it. This is very inconvenient as it takes time for constant cleansing. In Microsoft Edge, it is very easy to both clear and completely disable the cache.

That's it, caching is disabled. Now, every time you refresh the page, your browser will not look for data in the cache, but will immediately send a request to the server.
When you open any site, the browser saves it to your PC automatically. This is done so that the next time you open this page, it loads faster from the local storage. But time passes and a huge number of such pages are collected, as a result of which, various kinds of freezes can be observed in the browser. Moreover, the browser cache is stored by default at system disk(C: /) and over time the free space on this partition becomes less and less.

Working with cache in the new Microsoft Edge browser
When any site is opened, information about it is saved on the PC, in automatic mode... This is required in order to use local storage. Then pages are loaded from it faster. But after a while there are too many such pages in the storage. Because of this, less and less space is formed on the system C drive.
Clearing the cache in Microsoft Edge

Apart from main memory mobile devices, apps use a separate space with quick access. In it, they store the data that they need for stable and fast work... This space is called a temporary buffer or cache. You can learn about what it is, what it is for, what types are there and how to clean it in Windows Phone 8.1 and 10 from this guide.
What is cache and what is it for
The cache is an intermediate memory with fast access, which stores copies of data that can be used in the near future. When requesting to display information, the client first of all turns to the cache and tries to find copies of the necessary records in it, stored in the slower main memory. If such are found, they are read directly from the cache. Otherwise, data items are loaded from main memory into intermediate memory for faster access to them in the future. This mechanism allows you to increase productivity and reduce task execution time.
What types are there
The cache is divided into hardware and software. The first type can be found in processors and storage devices, while the second one can be found in applications. However, despite the different environments of use, their main job is to store information and quickly provide access to it for subsequent presentation to the user.
