Clear cookies, cache, and history using the browser

Whenever you visit certain Web sites, temporary Internet files and cookies are stored on your computer to identify the Web sites you've visited. Sometimes, these temporary Internet files and cookies can cause the issue that you are currently experiencing. Similarly, your history list can also be a concern. The more the number of days you have specified for pages to be saved on your history list, the greater is the disk space used on your computer. You can free up the disk space by clearing this list.

Once you clear your cookies, cache, and history, you may lose the following:

  • AOL® Radio presets
  • The Web sites you have visited
  • Your shopping cart
  • Your customized pages
