By default, Windows likes to assign a fairly large amount of hard drive space for your temporary internet files, or cache. In most cases, 50 MB is more than enough. Here is how to change the settings:
Internet Explorer:
1. Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > General tab
2. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section, click the Settings button
3. Change the size to 50 MB.
4. Apply your settings
FireFox:
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Privacy
2. Select the option for Cache
3. Change the size to 50 MB (50,000 KB)
4. Apply your settings
Happy clutter-free browsing!
