How can one look at content of temporary cache of his computer ?



After something not actually downloaded (just pressing the button to open data not download) to any directory, this data temporarily stored in some place but my computer stores them as permanent.



How can I look at that directory then erase unused data ?
In other words, my "browser puts stuff in"



ex: to watch video, Just press open rar file from website like rapid. Or to look at ebook, Just press open zip file.



They must be erased automatically but my computer stores them.



EDIT: Most of time, I am using Firefox, but I have also used chromium and safari.

Mozilla Firefox


~/.mozilla/firefox/[something].default/Cache


You can go to about:cache in your Browser to see information about this as well.


About Cache Link


Chromium


~/.cache/chromium/[profile]/Cache/


Google Chrome


~/.cache/google-chrome/[profile]/Cache/


Also, Chromium and Google Chrome store some additional cache at ~/.config/chromium/[profile]/Application Cache/Cache/ and ~/.config/google-chrome/[profile]/Application Cache/Cache/


Safari


~/.wine/drive_c/Document and Settings/$USER/Application Data/Apple Computer/Safari

~/.wine/drive_c/Document and Settings/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/Safari


Other than this, browsers can store temporary files in /tmp/ as well


Reference: Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Safari
