Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:04
limit your Chrome's cache and limit a
0:08
lot of storage space as well. So this
0:10
hidden setting is located. If you just
0:12
type this in the search bar, just say
0:16
chrome dash/
0:18
settings content all. So then it will
0:20
show you all the websites that you visit
0:23
and how much space that it consumes in
0:26
Google Chrome. And you can limit the
0:28
space by adding one kind of restriction
0:32
that I show you in this video. You can
0:34
activate this hidden setting. And this
0:36
will only limit your cache in Google
0:40
Chrome. And it will save you a lot of
0:42
storage space. So you can see these are
0:44
the most visited websites that I visit.
0:47
So you can even do this by going to
0:49
chrome colon/ settings/content/all.
0:58
Or you can simply go to this.
1:03
Just type this. And now to limit this
1:06
setting, you simply
1:10
uh type here Google Chrome. And after
1:14
that, you simply need to rightclick open
1:17
file location. And right here go to
1:20
properties section and write in the
1:23
target section. Right here
1:27
you just need to add this d- disk cache
1:32
size and then you here you need to
1:35
provide the size how much storage space
1:38
that you want to give to Google pro.
1:41
This will limit all the caching up to
1:44
this level. So it's around about 200
1:46
mgabytes. You can change this as well.
1:49
So you just need to add this after this
1:52
double quotes. Put a space and paste
1:54
this. This will add this restriction to
1:57
Google Chrome. That much of storage
1:59
space it can only consume. After that it
2:03
will delete everything.
2:06
So here you can put this restriction.
2:08
Click on apply.
2:11
And for this to run you need to provide
2:14
your administrator.
2:17
So we provided this and then you just
2:19
need to restart Google Chrome. After you
2:22
make this change, just delete everything
2:25
and after you start a new Chrome
2:27
session, it will put this restriction
2:30
and it will only save up to 200 mgabytes
2:33
of caching and it will save you a lot of
2:35
time.
2:37
So this thing you need to do and if you
2:39
are not happy with this, you can again
2:42
go to properties and remove that
2:43
restriction. It's very easy. Simply
2:45
remove this.
2:48
If you just want to reset again, click
2:50
apply.
2:52
That's all. So, this will remove any
2:54
kind of restriction on the caching
2:55
space.
