Is your Redmi 13 starting to feel sluggish while browsing the internet? Or maybe you're just trying to protect your privacy? Whatever your reason, clearing browser data is a simple but effective way to improve your phone’s performance and keep your information secure.
Let’s break down how to do it—step by step—whether you're using the default Mi Browser, Google Chrome, or any other browser.
Types of Browser Data Stored
Before we dive in, let’s quickly go over what you’re actually clearing:
-
Cache: Temporary files that help pages load faster.
-
Cookies: Tiny files that store login info and preferences.
-
Browsing history: List of sites you’ve visited.
-
Saved passwords and autofill data: For faster logins and form entries.
You can choose to clear all or just some of these, depending on your needs.
Which Browser Are You Using on Redmi 13?
The Redmi 13 comes with Mi Browser as the default browser, but many users also install Google Chrome or others like Firefox or Opera. The steps vary slightly depending on the browser, so we’ll cover each one.
How to Clear Data on Mi Browser (Default on Redmi 13)
Step 1: Open Mi Browser
Launch the Mi Browser from your home screen or app drawer.
Step 2: Tap on the Profile Icon or Menu
Usually located in the bottom-right corner or top-right, depending on your version.
Step 3: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security
Scroll down and tap Settings, then head into Privacy & Security.
Step 4: Tap on 'Clear browsing data'
Here, you'll find options to manage your stored browser info.
Step 5: Choose What to Delete
You can select:
-
Browsing history
-
Cached images and files
-
Cookies and site data
Step 6: Confirm and Clear
Once you’ve selected what you want to remove, tap Clear or Delete, and you're done!
How to Clear Data on Google Chrome (If Installed)
Step 1: Open Chrome
Tap the Chrome icon on your home screen or app drawer.
Step 2: Tap the Three Dots Menu
Located in the top-right corner.
Step 3: Select History > Clear Browsing Data
This opens the clearing options.
Step 4: Choose Time Range and Data Types
Pick a time range (Last hour, 24 hours, 7 days, All time). Then choose:
-
Browsing history
-
Cookies and site data
-
Cached images and files
Step 5: Tap Clear Data
And boom — Chrome is clean and fresh!
How to Clear Data on Other Browsers
If you're using Firefox, Opera, or Microsoft Edge, the steps are similar:
-
Open the browser.
-
Go to Settings or Privacy.
-
Tap Clear browsing data/history.
-
Choose the data types and confirm.
Each browser may word things slightly differently, but the options are usually in the Privacy/Security section.
Clear Browser App Cache from Phone Settings
Another way to clean things up is from your phone’s app settings:
-
Open Settings > Apps.
-
Tap Manage apps (or “All apps”).
-
Find your browser (e.g., Mi Browser, Chrome).
-
Tap Storage.
-
Tap Clear Cache or Clear Data.
⚠️ Clear Cache keeps your data but deletes temporary files.
⚠️ Clear Data resets the app completely (you’ll lose saved logins, settings, etc.).
Benefits of Clearing Browser Data
Here’s why you should make this a habit:
-
Improved performance — faster loading times
-
More storage space
-
Fewer glitches or crashes
-
Better privacy — say goodbye to trackers and cookies
What Happens After You Clear Browser Data?
Depending on what you delete:
-
You may be logged out of websites
-
Pages may load more slowly initially (until cache rebuilds)
-
Autofill and saved logins might disappear if you clear saved data
But overall, your browser will run smoother and cleaner.
How Often Should You Clear Browser Data?
There's no rule, but here are some suggestions:
-
Once a month for regular users
-
Weekly, if you browse a lot or visit many sites
-
Immediately, if your browser is lagging or acting up
Tips for Managing Browser Data
-
Use Incognito Mode for private sessions — no data is saved.
-
Turn on auto-delete options in browser settings (some browsers allow automatic clearing on exit).
-
Use a browser with built-in ad and tracker blockers.
