Chrome housekeeping - clear cache without losing stored passwords etc?

Draeger · 6 May 2015 at 11:00

Is there a way to clear out Chrome without losing stored passwords, logins etc? Mine seems to be chugging along a little slowly and I've not cleared it out since I installed the OS on this PC about a year ago. Don't want to lose passwords, stored login names etc though. Can this be done? I seem to recall doing this before thinking I had left my passwords intact but when I opened Chrome back up they had vanished. CCleaner has an option for clearing Chrome, would that be a way to go?

Ta.

CCleaner ought to be a good bet. IIRC it has separate options for cache and password clearing?

Get LastPass extension for Chrome.
Configure
Clear Chrome completely
Restart Chrome
Profit

Cheers guys, CCleaner did the trick. I've installed LastPass extension as well and will have a play with that too, ta for the heads up.

It is possible to wipe the cache without losing passwords.
