About Decache
Decache is a website that offers a Windows download for finding lost media in browser cache files. When a website loads, its images, videos, and games are temporarily stored in the browser cache. Those files are usually deleted over time, but some remain. Decache scans these files and compares them against a database of lost media. According to the site description, the database covers over 500 lost YouTube videos and Flash games.
The program is started by extracting the download and running start_decache.bat. The user then selects a computer to scan. The computer running Decache is listed with "C:" in its name. Users can also suggest one lost video at a time through a form on the site. Larger requests, such as many videos or a Flash game, are handled by email. The site lists a Discord server for help identifying video IDs. The scanner is described as a Windows program, and the upload and suggestion forms require a newer browser.
