What is CacheMonkey?
Convert, browse and clear cached images and files. Images you see online are never deleted immediately, unless you delete them of course. Most desktop apps have a cache directory, not all provide the tools to clear it. CacheMonkey not only lets you purge cache files, but browse and filter through them too.
Comments and Reviews
The author's comment on X made me think the program was broken, but it does indeed still work. An easy way to set up cache directories to be scanned: Run Glary Utilities. Choose Disk Cleanup, select your browsers, click red file results, right click and open folder, copy folder path at its address bar, paste results in CacheMonkey. With CacheMonkey, you will have a copy of cache files that you can view, sort from and maybe create better caching methods. Image, webp, and action gifs are readily viewable and can be easily saved. Seems that it would be easier to work with if multi-selection of images was doable. One workaround is to open the CacheMonkey image with FastStone in browser viewer which makes items more selectable. Replacing 1 star review with 4 stars for now.
