How to access Google Chrome’s Cache

Looking into the cache is generally helpful in many things, one of which can be downloading the videos which you can see in the temporary files of the cache. Or downloading recently viewed photos.

So a very small tip here on how to access Google Chrome’s cache -

Turn on “Show hidden files and folders” as sometimes a few files get hidden and can not be directly viewed.

After you turn that on, go to this location in your windows OS -

C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

If you are a multi-user windows user, then go to the folder having the user name of the one which you are logged in while browsing the cache.

You can delete the temporary files or they automatically go after a certain time.
