I'm using Microsoft edge. I know that clearing history helps keep your info safe and makes pages load faster, but do you actually need to wipe the browser history every single time? Is it even worth deleting over 100k visited links? Do those links take up space on my hard drive or does the browser save them somewhere else instead? Even if I have plenty of room left for other things, is it a good idea not to clear out the cached files and pictures just so they don't get messy in the disk?

Even if your computer has lots of CPU, memory, and hard drive space, it's not really a problem for this game or app. Actually, the saved pictures make things run faster. Instead of going online every single time to get images, they come straight from your hard drive. That sounds better than 100k links! Now... if you try to use Windows 10 on an old Intel Celeron processor with only 2GB of RAM, things won't work well.

I hear that, so it's probably just for saving room or fixing site problems if you really need to do it.

It's something people with OCD like, so leave it be and don't stress over it.
