Instructions are also included for clearing the location cache andMicrosoft Storecache.
Heres how to dump the cache in Windows 11:
OpenSettingsfrom the Start menu or by pressingWin+i.
Then, go toSystem>Storage.
Select each content bang out you want to remove.
TheDownloadsoption deletes everything in your Downloads folder.
SelectContinueto start the deletion process.
Heres how to scrub the location cache in Windows 11:
Go toSettings>Privacy & security.
Scroll down and chooseLocation.
A small checkmark will appear to indicate that it’s been erased.
Heres how this works from the Run dialog box:
PressWin+R, typewsreset.exe, and selectOK.
A black box will appear, and then it will automatically close once the cache is clear.
The Microsoft Store will launch with a clear cache.
The window will be white initially while the app rebuilds its cache.
PressCtrl+Shift+Delto see the cache clearing option in most browsers.
This doesnt free up any storage space, but it can fix some internet-related problems.
There are also other ways to free up memory that dont involve clearing a cache.
For example, you canremove junk files from Windows 11to make this run more smoothly.
you’re able to alsomanually delete temporary Windows files.
Another method I like is to use a tool dedicated to PC cleanup, like the third-party program calledCCleaner.
you might also launch the Windows Command Prompt, typeipconfig /flushdns, and pressEnter.
If an unused app is hogging RAM,force quitthe problematic process.
