Besides main memory mobile devices, applications use a separate space with quick access. In it they store the data they need for stable and fast work. This space is called a temporary buffer or cache. About what it is, what it is needed for, what types there are and how to clean it in Windows Phone 8.1 and 10 can be found in this manual.
What is a cache and what is it for?
A cache is a fast-access intermediate memory that stores copies of data that can be used in the near future. When requesting information output, the client first accesses the cache and tries to find copies of the required entries stored in slower main memory. If any are found, they are read directly from the cache. Otherwise, data elements are loaded from main memory into intermediate memory for faster access to them in the future. This mechanism allows you to increase productivity and reduce task completion time.
What types exist
The cache is divided into hardware and software. The first type can be found in processors and storage devices, the second - in applications. However, despite the different application environments, their main job is to store information and quickly make it available for later presentation to the user.

The release of beta testing of Windows 10 has brought fruit to Microsoft. Many users around the world already have them on their computers. installed Windows 10. Everyone wants to try out the new features and interface of Microsoft's latest brainchild. There are many questions about new technologies in Windows 10. In particular, about the new Edge browser, created with the goal of replacing the already familiar (and boring) Internet Explorer.
Microsoft Edge Browser, according to Microsoft developers, was created with the goal of forever replacing the old IE, which will have to become history. It is noteworthy that on releases like Enterprise, the standard browser is still Internet Explorer and there is no opportunity to try Edge there. The browser was created with the goal of becoming a truly worthy replacement. You can easily see that Edge is quite fast. Especially compared to IE. Some are inclined to believe that Edge is the fastest of all browsers. According to official according to Microsoft Edge is 112% faster than the popular one Google Chrome. There is quite a lot of controversy about this. But one thing we know for sure is that Edge offers a lot of features that you won't find in other modern browsers.
With the discovery of new opportunities, users also face more complex questions. Nobody wants to lose the previous functionality from other browsers. A very common question is how to disable the cache in Edge. In reality, the answer to this question is not obvious. Let's first figure out (for those who already know: let's repeat) what it all is.
Let's remember how pages are opened in a browser. When making a request to any address, the browser generates a request and sends it to the server on which the site we requested is located. If everything is fine, the server sends packets of information to the browser, which the browser receives and forms a web page from them. We see it on our screens. Every time we make such a request, we load both the server and the browser. Depending on the speed of our Internet (essentially the speed of transmitting and receiving requests from the server). Therefore, caching technology was invented. A cache is a special area in the computer's memory that stores data that has the highest priority when that data is requested. That is, when we request a page, if there is information from this page in the cache memory of our computer, the browser will not send a request to the server to receive new packets of information. Instead, it will load the data from the cache. This allows you to avoid wasting time on unnecessary requests. Important! The cache memory does not work with text data. Only files, images, various page color styles, etc. are cached.
We figured out what caching is. Why does the cache need to be disabled or cleared? The fact is that the browser will always try to “slip” old data to us, because it is faster and more profitable. However, if you, for example, are developing your website or have ordered development, and changes on the site occur every minute, it will be very inconvenient for you to refresh pages 5-10 times in anticipation of a new request to the server, rather than receiving information from the cache.
Many browsers allow us to clear the cache, but do not provide the ability to disable it. This is very inconvenient because it takes time to constantly cleanse. Microsoft Edge makes it very easy to both clear and completely disable the cache.
