How to Clear Cache | Web browser

Overview

The browser cache is a temporary storage area on your device where your web browser saves copies of web pages, images, scripts, and other resources. The idea is to speed up browsing by loading previously visited content from your local device instead of downloading it again from the internet.

Follow these steps to clear cache in Chrome, Edge and Safari (iPad/iPhone) browsers.

If you're using Google Chrome:

Open Chrome.
Press the Ctrl + Shift + Del keys on your keyboard to bring up the Delete browsing data window.
Click All Time at the top.
Place a check mark in all boxes by clicking the box (if the box does not already have a check mark in it). Scroll down to see additional options.
Select Delete data.
Once the process has finished, close and reopen Chrome.

If you're using Microsoft Edge:

Open Microsoft Edge.
Press the Ctrl + Shift + Del keys on your keyboard to bring up the Clear browsing data window.
In the Time Range field, click on the drop-down arrow and select All time.
Place a check mark in all boxes by clicking the box (if the box does not already have a check mark in it).
Select Clear now.
Once the process has finished, close and reopen Microsoft Edge.
