Assuming you are using MS Windows: Download ccleaner http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ which will do what you ask, but not temporarily. The emptied cache, temp files and cookies will fill up again depending on you using the internet. So rerun ccleaner each time your computer becomes bloated!

Open up the program you use to browse the internet.
Go into Options and somewhere there, you will see something that says, "Clear temporary history"
or "clear cache" or "cookies" or any combination of that.
Unless I know what program you use, I can't give you a step-by-step.

Use CCleaner, here is a direct link to download page at the official site: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
Its completely free and safe. (on the download page there are paid versions, but all it is, is paid priority support, which is really unneeded. the program is exactly the same).
