Hello and welcome to VisiHow. In this video we are going to show you how to clear the storage section of Google Chrome on an HTC One M8.
Steps
- 1To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the Power button located on the top of the phone.
- 2Once the phone has been activated, we will see the lock screen.
- 3To unlock the phone, swipe the screen upwards.
- 4It is one of these icons that we now need to access in order to open Applications folder.Once the phone has been unlocked, we will see the home screen, and at the bottom we will see several icons.
- 5It is a grid of white dots. Press down on this icon, and it will open our "Apps" folder.We need the icon at the bottom of the home screen and in the middle.
- 6It has the Google Chrome icon, which is a circle made up of different colors. Underneath, it says the word "Chrome". This icon may be located anywhere in the "Apps" folder.In this folder, we need to find the Google "Chrome" application.
- 7Once it has been found, press down on the Google "Chrome" icon to enter the application.
- 8We can see that there are three small black dots in a vertical line.Once the application is loaded, we need the icon located in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- 9Press down on this icon to open a menu.
- 10Press down on that.We want the "Settings" option, which is second from the bottom.
- 11Press down on that section.In the "Settings" menu, we need to scroll down until we get to "Site settings".
- 12Now, scroll down all the way to the bottom until we get to the section that says, "Storage".
- 13This page stores all the websites and data that we have visited in this Google Chrome application. We can now remove and clear some of this storage.Press down on the word "Storage" to bring up the "Storage" menu.
- 14Choose a website to clear by pressing down on it.
- 15Press down on that.On the next screen, there is a blue trash bin on the right-hand side of the screen.
- 16A message will pop up on the screen that says "Clear stored data - All local data stored by this website, including cookies, will be deleted."
- 17If we want to do that, we should press down on "CLEAR ALL" at the bottom right corner of this window.
- 18For now, we're going to press down on "Cancel".
- 19Press down on this option.Back on the "Site settings" screen, we also have the option to "CLEAR & RESET".
- 20This option is going to reset permissions, while the bin is just going to clear the data.This will bring up a message that says, "Clear & reset - Are you sure that you want to clear all local data, including cookies, and reset all permissions for this website?" This is similar to the trash bin, but it's slightly different.
- 21Press down on "CLEAR & RESET" to continue, or press "CANCEL" to go back.
- 22Press down on the arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen to go back.
- 23We can repeat this process with any of the websites on the "Storage" page.
- 24Some store a lot more data than others. We have seen now how we can clear this data.On the right-hand side of the screen, it shows the different amounts of space that each website is taking up, or the amount of data that is being stored.
