Why Should You Clear the Cache? 

The items that Microsoft Edge saves while you browse the web make up the cache. A damaged cache file is the most frequent problem you might experience when using a browser. This signifies that a small file on your computer has inaccurate data, which may prevent the browser from properly reading the file.

By deleting (also known as clearing) the cache file, the browser is instructed to create a fresh one. Although the website stores data on you in the cache file to make it easier to access the site, you may have to sign in again each time you visit.

Even though logging in again is irritating, you'll be glad when a new cache file improves your browser's functions.
