Step 2: Press “Ctrl + F” on your keyboard to open the Find bar.

Step 3: Type in part of the name or location of the cache file you're looking for in the “Find” text box, then hit “Enter” to search. Hit “Enter” to browse through all matching results.

Viewing Chrome Cache with Third-Party Software (UTF-8 Encoding)

If the first two methods don't work, you can use a third-party Chrome cache viewer to view and restore Chrome cache files. Since the files have no file extensions, you won't be able to view their contents without a cache viewer.

Typically, the Chrome Cache Viewer locates and reads the cache folder of the Chrome web browser. This means you need to have this cache folder installed on your computer. The location of the Chrome cache is at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache on Windows 10. If you're missing the cache folder, don't worry; you can use a tool like Data Recovery Wizard to recover the Chrome cache files.
