How do I clear my browser's cache?
I've been asked to clear my browser's cache to see if it fixes a problem, but I'm not sure how to do that
In most cases, the instructions below will work to clear your cache and resolve your issue. (You may also want to try clearing cookies, if cache alone doesn't work.) If it doesn't solve the problem, then there may be something else at play.
If these instructions do not bring you to your browser's clear cache function, try a quick Google search (or Bing or whatever your preferred tool may be) using your browser name and clear cache.
Using a PC
Chrome | Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete | Click Clear browsing data |
Firefox | Click Clear Now | |
Edge | Click Clear |
Using a Mac
Chrome | Press Cmd + Shift + Delete | Click Clear browsing data |
Firefox | Click Clear Now | |
Safari | Go to History > Clear History... | Choose a timeframe and click Clear History |
This clears cache, cookies, and browsing history. If you want to just clear the cache, try these instructions, or do a web search on: safari empty cache |
