You should view and manage the cache and storage space on your browser for multiple reasons. Clearing cached data can help solve issues you sometimes face when browsing a website, like Error 404, the site not loading correctly, etc. Or you can view cache and storage space to understand better which website has stored what data.

The browser cache saves elements from websites you visit in local storage. This helps pages load more quickly. But the cache must be cleared regularly. Browsing the internet leads to accumulating a lot of cached data that can affect the performance of your device.

But if you want to be selective about which data you want to eliminate, you can do so by going through the list of cached data and deleting the ones you do not need.
