Hi Ginny,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Firstly, could you let us know if you're referring to the maintenance scan of your AVG TuneUp?
Also, by Windows Cache Files, are you referring to the temp files in your computer?
Awaiting your response.

Hello! Yes, it's a recommendation from a maintenance scan of AVG Tuneup. It classifies it as "Browser Cache" and says "free up space by safely deleting temporary web browser files". I have a lot of web pages bookmarked and login info saved and just want to make sure that these will not be deleted. THANK YOU!

Thank you for the clarification, Ginny.

You can rest assured, as using AVG TuneUp to delete any browser cache will not delete any saved bookmarks & passwords.
Let us know if you have further queries.
