Why should I clear my cache?

The simple answer is the most important. You have a limited amount of space on any given space. Most of the time it might not be a problem but if you like to visit sites constantly then you may get unwanted files stored on your system that could slow your system down and even slow down your browser experience. It depends on how fast your system will react to your browsing and what happens when you get some bad cache files from websites.   This can help clear those up and stop all those popups that maybe becoming annoying to you.  You might get advertisements and other pop ups that will cause problems while you are trying to use your computer.
