To clear cache, the method depends on which device or browser is being used. Here are common ways for popular browsers:
- For Google Chrome on Windows/Linux, press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE; on Mac, press CMD + SHIFT + DELETE. This opens a "Delete browsing data" window where you check "Cached images and files" and click "Delete data." You can choose the time range for the cache to clear, such as the last hour, 24 hours, or all time.
- For Mozilla Firefox, use the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + DEL to open a popup. Choose "Cache" in the data options, select the time range, and click "OK."
- For Safari, you can go to Safari > Clear History to remove all cache, cookies, and history for a selected time frame. To clear only the cache, enable the "Develop" menu under Preferences > Advanced, then use Develop > Empty Caches.
- For Microsoft Edge, go to the menu > History > Clear Browsing Data, check "Cached images and files," select the time range, and click "Clear."
- On Android Chrome, open Chrome app, tap the three dots > History > Clear browsing data, select "Cached images and files" and "Cookies and site data," choose the time range, and tap "Clear data."
- On iPhone Safari, go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
Each browser may have some variations in steps but generally follow this pattern of opening a clear browsing data window, selecting cached data, and confirming to delete.
