Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clear Opera cache on iPad?
To clear Opera cache on your iPad, open the browser or device settings, find the clear browsing data option, make sure cached files are selected, and confirm. See our step-by-step guide above for the complete process.
Will clearing Opera cache on iPad delete my passwords?
No. Clearing the cache on your iPad only removes temporary website files like images and scripts. Your saved passwords in Opera are stored separately and won't be affected. Just make sure you only select 'Cached images and files' and leave 'Passwords' unchecked.
How often should I clear Opera cache on my iPad?
For most iPad users, clearing the Opera cache every 2-4 weeks is a good routine. If you browse frequently or notice slow performance, you might want to clear it more often. There's no harm in clearing the cache — it's a safe and routine maintenance step.
Will clearing cache speed up Opera on my iPad?
Yes, clearing the cache can often improve Opera's speed on your iPad, especially if the cache has grown large or contains corrupted files. After clearing, the first page loads may be slightly slower as resources are re-downloaded, but overall performance usually improves.
Is it safe to clear Opera cache on iPad?
Absolutely. Clearing the Opera cache on your iPad is completely safe. It only removes temporary files — your bookmarks, passwords, browsing history, and personal data remain untouched. It's a routine maintenance task recommended by tech professionals.
Will I be logged out of websites after clearing Opera cache on iPad?
If you only clear the cache (cached images and files) in Opera, you will NOT be logged out. However, if you also clear cookies and site data, you will be logged out of most websites. When clearing, only check the cache option to stay logged in.
What does Opera cache on my iPad actually store?
The Opera cache on your iPad stores temporary copies of website resources — images, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, fonts, and other web content. This allows Opera to load previously visited pages faster by using local copies instead of downloading everything again.
How much storage does Opera cache use on iPad?
The Opera cache size on your iPad varies based on your browsing habits, but it typically ranges from a few hundred megabytes to several gigabytes. Heavy browsing and visiting media-rich sites increases cache size. Clearing the cache is an easy way to reclaim storage space.
Can I clear Opera cache for just one website on iPad?
In some cases, yes. On desktop versions of Opera, you can clear cache for specific sites through developer tools or site settings. On mobile, the options may be more limited. For the most reliable fix, clearing the entire Opera cache is recommended.
What's the difference between cache and cookies in Opera on iPad?
On your iPad, the Opera cache stores website files (images, scripts) for faster loading, while cookies store data like login sessions and preferences. Clearing cache helps fix display issues; clearing cookies logs you out of sites. These can be cleared independently.
