Browser cache
Browser cache (also known as Temporary Internet files) stores the content of of recently visited webpages including documents, images, and other content on webpages. This speeds up the displaying of pages you frequently visit as a web browser can open them from your hard disk instead of downloading them from the web.
Why you should clean cache
But browser cache can be a privacy issue as everyone who has access to your computer can see some personal information - by simply opening the cache files, anyone can see what videos you have watched, what pictures you have seen, where you have been online, and more.
How to clean cache
One way to maintain your privacy is to delete cache manually. But in Internet Explorer even if you clean cache manually, cache index.dat file stores Internet surfing information. This file keeps a total record of every website you visit. And this file is locked, so you can't delete it by hand.
Clear All History makes it easy to protect your privacy and clean cache information from your computer, including the locked cahce index.dat file.
