How to Clean Out Internet Files

Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Luis Estrada and I am a software developer. In this video I'll show you how to clean out Internet files. The procedure to do this is very similar on all web browsers. For this example I'll use Firefox. On other videos I show the procedure on other web browsers. Firefox is a registered trademark of Mozilla and I am in no way affiliated with Mozilla. Select tools and clear private data. There are many objects of information to delete. The first one is the browsing history which erases the addresses of all the pages you've accessed on the Internet. Except of course those that you have bookmarked. Another option is the download history. That keeps track of the files that you have downloaded using this browser. There's also the saved form and search history option that deletes all information that you may have entered when filling a sign up form and all that you have written in the search box on the right of the browser. The next option is the cache. The cache holds copies of the web pages that you have visited. So that the next time that you visit them the files associated such as images or animations load faster because they are stored inside our computer. The next option is the cookies that hold sensitive information such as user names and passwords. Always clear your cookies if the computer is used by another person. There are cases when Firefox asks whether you want to remember passwords for certain websites. That way you do not need to enter your data every time you access that site. You can choose to delete those saved passwords with the next option. Offline data refers to web pages that you access when choosing to work offline mode in your browser. When you work in this mode the browser presents the copy of the pages that you have on cache instead of connecting to the Internet to view that page. The authenticated sessions option refers to times when you provide log in information to establish interaction with the website or application on the web. You should also delete this if the computer is used by other people."
