How to View Cache and Storage Space on Samsung Internet?

When you surf the internet and face any issue in website loading, the most common advice you’ll hear is to clear your cache or storage space on Samsung Internet. Some of the users might be aware of those terms. However, not everyone knows how to view and manage cache and storage space on Samsung Internet.

The cache is the process of storing website data on local storage, so the browser doesn’t need to download it each time you visit the website. However, in the long run, it becomes important to clear cache and occupied storage space to ensure your browser works well.

If you continually use the browser then the storage space will fill-up rapidly with the website information such as images, login information, and so on. Yesterday, I was browsing a site my friend suggested to me checkout. He suggested that I check out particular news on the website. I have refreshed the website several times but I was not able to find out that news.

I have informed my friend about the problem. He has suggested that I clear the storage space in my browser. I have done the same and reload the website, this time I was able to read that particular news.
