Internet

When you go to the web, download, fill in forms, and so on, many files and folders are created. You can use the Internet option, found in the Maintenance pane, to remove these items and thus recover some space.

In the Maintenance pane, select the Internet checkbox, then click the Options button to access advanced settings.
