You don't identify what is in your computer's cache, because the cache is managed by the hardware and the operating system. To understand the contents, you would need to understand the design of the system, and you would need to do this while the operating system is not running, because the cache is constantly changing. If you are concerned about security, you can set your pagefile to be cleared on shutdown. You can (and should) also design any security sensitive software to use non-paged memory where needed, so that clear-text data is never stored on the hard drive.

Why does computer say waiting for cache?

If the computer is experiencing delays, it may be due to a slow process retrieving data from the cache, insufficient cache size, or high system load. Resolving this may involve optimizing software, upgrading hardware, or clearing cache to improve efficiency.
