I went to my cache folder in my users name and saw tons of folders of caches in folders. Can I delete the folders with the caches in them? Good or bad idea.
Bad idea. Caches are created to increase performance of the application that uses them. Why would you want to decrease performance by deleting them?
It doesn't really matter if u do or not but it's a good thing if u do choose to because it will speed up ur safari and possibly speed up the device tht u are using but most of the times u will not he able to tell a difference. I just cleared mine like 5 min ago. I make it a regular thing to keep my device running smoothly.
Again this video makes it easy to understand. I did not have a clue what the cache was for,so i did not touch it in case it caused a major problem. The thing that put me off emptying the cache was the the drop down. Saying if you delete this you will loose something. This to me was a warning not to empty your cache. It has not been emptied since i bought my computer, but i will watch your video again,and just go through it slowly. Thanks Again Gary
