How to Prevent a Browser or Site from Deleting Downloaded Files (Cache) Required to Run a Browser Game

When playing browser games, it can be frustrating when your downloaded files, also known as cache, get deleted. These files are essential for running the game smoothly and without interruptions. However, there are a few steps you can take to prevent your browser or site from deleting these files. In this article, we will guide you through the process.

Step 1: Clearing Cache Settings

The first step is to check your browser's cache settings. Different browsers have different ways of accessing these settings, but here are some general steps:

1. Open your browser's settings or preferences.
2. Look for a section related to privacy or browsing data.
3. Find the option to clear cache or browsing history.
4. Make sure this option is not set to automatically clear cache when you close the browser.

By disabling the automatic cache clearing, you can ensure that your downloaded files are not deleted when you exit the browser.

Step 2: Adding Exceptions to Antivirus or Security Software

Antivirus or security software on your computer may sometimes identify the downloaded game files as potential threats and delete them. To prevent this from happening, you can add exceptions or exclusions for the game files in your antivirus software.

Here's how to add exceptions in some commonly used antivirus software:

• Windows Defender: Open Windows Security, go to Virus & Threat Protection, click on Manage Settings, and then add an exclusion for the game files.
• Avast: Open Avast, go to Settings, select General, and then add the game files to the Exclusions list.
• McAfee: Open McAfee, go to Settings, select Real-Time Scanning, and then add the game files to the Excluded Files list.

Adding these exceptions will prevent your antivirus software from deleting the necessary game files.

Step 3: Disabling Browser Extensions

Sometimes, browser extensions can interfere with the game files and cause them to be deleted. To prevent this, you can temporarily disable your browser extensions while playing the game.

Here's how to disable extensions in some popular browsers:

• Google Chrome: Click on the three-dot menu, go to More Tools, select Extensions, and then toggle off the extensions you want to disable.
• Mozilla Firefox: Click on the three-bar menu, go to Add-ons, select Extensions, and then click on the Disable button next to the extensions you want to disable.
• Microsoft Edge: Click on the three-dot menu, go to Extensions, and then toggle off the extensions you want to disable.

By disabling browser extensions, you can prevent them from interfering with the game files and deleting them.

Following these steps will help you prevent your browser or site from deleting the downloaded files required to run a browser game. Enjoy uninterrupted gaming!
