## Cache

This module also allows you control the size of the local cache directory used by &konqueror;. Note that each user account on your computer has a separate cache directory, and this directory is not shared with other web browsers such as &Netscape;.

Storing local copies of web pages that you have visited allows &konqueror; to quickly load their contents on subsequent visits. It will only be necessary to reload the contents from the original site if they have changed since your last visit, or if you click the reload button in &konqueror;.

This is however, only an average, and during a browsing session the cache could become substantially larger.

You can use the Clear Cache button to empty the cache at any time.
