Slowness of windows 10 and Google Chrome


Whats your favourite web browser? 

Yes, I know the answer its must be Google Chrome. What else as internet explorer is still too slow in response time and Firefox, Safari is still long way behind from google chrome.

But luxury is always comes with a cost. In my work computer I have 16GB of ram, state of state of the art  lintel i7 CPU and Solid State Drive as my primary storage.

Still my computer was too slow and and CPU usage was always about 100%. You can check cpu usage on your task manager.

So in my case I'm using google chrome installation for last year without clearing the cache or deleting temporary files.So google user data folder had around 5GB of space which slowing down the whole computer when I was using chrome.





 













So the solution.

1. First uninstall google chrome. Delete the old user data folder.

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

** You will lose all the bookmarks and any web browsing history. If you don't want to delete the history  just clear the google chrome cache. But its will not clean everything.
