For the operation of any modern browser, including me from the Yandex developer, cache-memory is used. This technology allows you to reduce the consumption of Internet traffic, increase browser performance, and improve user experience. The most significant feature of the cache is the ability to watch videos and listen to music online. This article describes where the browser cache from Yandex.

Cleaning through the browser interface

Due to cache problems, the web browser starts to work slowly. It may also stop showing videos or playing music altogether. Such an unpleasant problem is solved quite simply - cleaning.

In order to clear the cache, users do not need to know where it is located. This can be done quickly using standard Internet browser tools. Follow a few simple steps described in the instructions:

Thus, all cache problems will be eliminated. The rest of the article describes where to find the local file where all data from the internet is saved.

cache folder

If for some reason you need the cache files themselves, you can find them in the service directory of the Yandex browser. This directory is located in the AppData system directory, which is hidden from view by default. This means that without first configuring Windows Explorer, users will not be able to open and work with this folder.

No complex changes to the operation of a personal computer will be required. Just follow the provided instructions:

Each of us stores a lot of files on our computer. Some users need them for work, and others for entertainment. And over time, we are faced with such a nuisance as the lack of free space on the hard drive.

There is a way out - this is the use of Yandex Disk cloud storage.

Its advantage is that it works through the WEBDAV protocol.

That is, cloud storage provides the ability to store your files on your server, and also saves copies of them on your computer, but at the same time they do not take up space on your hard drive, and you can do whatever you want with them.

Benefits of Yandex Disk over the WebDav protocol

All files hosted on the service will be available from any device with the Internet;

Folders and files stored on Yandex Disk can be easily transferred to other users;

The flash drive and hard drive may break, which will lead to the loss of information, and the files stored on the remote service will not go anywhere, even if you reinstall the operating system.

So, how to connect a Yandex disk using the WebDav protocol?

To work with cloud storage, we do not need to download the program. It is enough to perform the following functions:
1. Press the "Start" button. In the left panel, select "Computer" and click on it with the right mouse button.

From the context menu list, select the "map a network drive" option.

2. In the window that opens, in the "Folder" field, enter the address: https://webdav.yandex.ru and check the box next to "restore at login" and click "Finish".

3. Then we enter the password and login from the account on Yandex Disk. Click "Ok", and then select "map folders as a network drive". If you go to "My Computer", you will immediately see a network drive folder.

You can open it, and there you will find the files that you uploaded to Yandex. Disk. At the same time, you can edit, open, save, delete unnecessary ones and add new ones. However, they will not take up space on your computer.

Mapping a network drive in Windows 8

1. We go into the explorer. Select "computer" and click on the computer tab at the top.
2. Click on the "Map network drive" tab that opens.

Pretty easy. But first you need to understand why the cache was created and why it is cleared. Many people who surf the Internet may have seen this word more than once, but never learned about its meaning for the browser. Let's start filling this knowledge gap.

Concept definition

So, the cache is in some way an intermediary between the hosting where the resource is located and your computer. The cache stores a variety of files that are downloaded from the site you visit. These can be photos, video and audio recordings, logins, passwords and other settings chosen by a person for any resource.

Due to the fact that all the necessary information is stored in the cache, when you visit the site again, everything will load several times faster. This is very important for users who have slow internet.

For example, you went to some site that you have not seen before. All the necessary data is immediately stored in the browser cache. You skimmed the text, watched the video and closed this site. In a few days you need to go to the site, perhaps something new has appeared on this resource. Opening it again, you no longer receive data from the server, but from the cache, which affects the site loading speed. As you understand, everything is very easy.

The need for data cleansing

Of course, even a novice user is obliged to know how and why the cache is cleared in Yandex Browser (or in any other browser). But first, it is worth understanding why it is advised to carry out such a procedure.

Firstly, the data that is stored in the cache takes up space on the hard drive, so if there is not enough space on your personal hard drive, then it is advised to clear the cache of all browsers. Secondly, sometimes the web browser starts slow down or just "fail". The browser starts up for a long time, tabs open slowly, images do not load well. And in this case, the storage of information can be the cause of problems.

There is another problem that you may encounter - incorrect display of page design.

Clearing memory in Yandex Browser

So, in order to clear the cache in a web browser from a special Yandex system, you will need to perform certain steps:

Browser settings

Unfortunately, Yandex employees did not provide for the possibility of increasing or decreasing the size of the cache directory using simple tools in the browser. Users cannot change these settings in the browser settings.

However, there is another unusual method for performing such an operation - changing the properties of the shortcut. Most often, these restrictions and difficulties are introduced, so that some users cannot accidentally change something and fill their entire hard drive with unnecessary information. A very small cache is also a problem, since you won't be able to watch movies online, for example, due to a clogged memory.

Changing shortcut properties is easy- just follow the shown step-by-step recommendations:

So, now that you have learned how to clear the cache, we advise you to do this operation even with slight web browser slowdowns.

Of course, when you visit an important site again, its pages will take a long time to load, because the information must be saved in the browser again. But it's better to wait once than always worry about web browser glitches. And most importantly, remember that it is always worth learning something new in terms of modern technologies, there is nothing difficult in this, try it, you will like it.
