Over time, the cache in Opera GX can accumulate temporary files, cookies, and other data, leading to decreased performance. Clearing the cache regularly can help improve browser speed and resolve various issues. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of clearing the cache in Opera GX.

Step-by-Step Guide Clearing Cache in Opera GX

Step 1: Launch Opera GX

Open the Opera GX browser by clicking on its icon on your desktop or searching for it in the application menu.

Step 2: Access the Settings

Click on the Opera GX menu icon in the top-left corner of the browser window. From the drop-down menu, select “Settings.”

Step 3: Navigate to the Clear Browsing Data Menu

In the Settings menu, locate and click on the “Advanced” tab. Scroll down and find the “Privacy and security” section. From there, click on the “Clear browsing data” option.

Step 4: Choose the Time Range

In the Clear browsing data menu, you will see a drop-down menu labeled “Time range.” Click on the arrow to expand the menu and choose the desired time range. “The beginning of time” option clears all cache, while the other options allow you to specify a particular period.

Step 5: Select the Data Types

Beneath the time range selection, you will find a list of data types to be cleared. By default, all types are selected. If you want to retain certain data, uncheck the corresponding options. However, for a thorough cache clearance, it is recommended to keep all options selected.

Once the cache has been cleared, it is recommended to restart the Opera GX browser to ensure the changes take effect. Close the browser and relaunch it before continuing your browsing activities.
