Google Chrome -where the downloaded js files form a website are stored in our local machine

When browsing an website, javascript files will be loaded into our local machine by browser. Im curious to find out where the files are stored in our local machine. (Curios after I seen the list of js files (in directory structure, as like my workspace) in the 'Sources' panel - Google Chrome web inspector)

I can say that it will be in Temp files or Chrome/Firefox App data, but can anybody tell me where exactly the files are saved?

The location varys from browser to browser and is different on most operating systems. You have to be more specific about what browser.

Google chrome for example uses the following path to store temporary data:

  • Windows Vista: C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings[USERNAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\
  • Windows 7/8: C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
  • Mac OS X: /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/
