As you surf the Internet on Google Chrome, the program uses an increasing amount of hard disk space. Most people are not affected by the amount of hard disk usage, as they have large enough to handle large amounts of stored data units. Chrome can save images, videos and other data in its cache for easy future access memory. However, you can clear the cache to free up space. Finally, reduce memory usage, refraining from opening many browser tabs.

Instructions 

  1. Open Google Chrome by clicking "Start," "All Programs" and select the program from the list.
  2. Click the key icon located in the toolbar of the browser.
  3. Select "Tools", "Delete browsing data" and select the data to be deleted, as the cookies stored on your hard disk.
  4. Select the time period during which the program will delete data. Delete all data by selecting "beginning of time."
  5. Click "Clear browsing data".
  6. Close unnecessary tabs in Google Chrome. The more tabs you have open, the more memory you will use. Use a tab to browse the Internet, if possible.
