How do I clear my browser cache?

Step-by-step instructions to clear your browser cache in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

  2. Go to Delete browsing data (or press Ctrl+Shift+Delete).

  3. Set the time range to All time.

  4. Check Cached images and files.

  5. Click Delete data.

Mozilla Firefox

  1. Click the hamburger menu (☰) in the top-right corner.

  2. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security.
