Some help on Chrome

[Rayhaan Jiwani]

Hello Forum,

 

I wanted some help since I need to know how I can change the install and caching location of Chrome because my SSD is only 120GB and I have my drivers on it anyways. I saw this (http://smallbusiness...rome-42689.html) but it was too hard to understand and I couldn't do it.

 

Thanks!

Cache rarely takes up much space, and you can just clear the Cache with every browser close if you want to.  Not recommended but it's a way.  The above method you linked is making Windows think a folder is on Drive C (Default drive) when the contents of the folder is actually on another drive.

Should I just leave it then?

I usually use CCleaner.

I usually use CCleaner.

 

I do too, but I don't use it to clear browser cache.  The browsers nowadays are pretty smart with cache management.  For Firefox you can set a maximum cache size, and for Chrome, I've never seen it go above 1 GB or if it does, not by much.  You can clear it with CCleaner too but I use it for more mundane stuff like Windows Error Reports, old temp files etc

 

Also remember to quote or tag the person you are responding to, otherwise they won't get a notification that a reply was made.
