How to View and Clear Site Storage Data on Chrome Android

Have you ever seen how much storage space the Google Chrome browser consumes on your device? Whether it be a computer or mobile phone, the storage space occupied by Google Chrome and other browsers is a lot.

If you regularly browse the internet using the Chrome browser, the size will grow daily. But what exactly is stored in the browser? Google Chrome claims to be one of the fastest Android browsers due to its ability to store cache and cookies. That makes the website load blazingly fast on the next visit.

Most static files will be downloaded and stored in the browser as a cache if you frequently visit a website. Next time you visit the same site, it loads faster as the required files are already stored in the browser.

A week ago, my mother faced the problem of insufficient storage space on her Android phone. She is technically not very sound, so she does not know how to clear the cache or browsing data. This caused the Chrome browser to take up excessive space on the device. After that, I taught her how this issue could be solved.

However, this cache storage keeps increasing as it stores more files. There can also be some redundant and obsolete files in the cache. Hence, it’s a good idea to keep clearing the cache and storage once a month.
