In addition to allowing you to do this, it allows you to delete the history, cookies, plug-in data and all information that in some way may represent a risk to the user's privacy.

Now click on the Click & Clean icon that appeared in the Chrome toolbar at the top right and select the item options from the box that appears. In the window that opens, leave the check mark only next to the options Clear your cache ed Delete personal data when Chrome closes (if you want to automatically delete other data also leave the check mark next to the other items), close the extension configuration panel and the settings will be saved.
Once these steps are done, every time you open rare Chrome, your browser cache will be cleared without you having to do anything. Convenient!
