Cache? Cookies? Browsing the internet would be a drag without them. But sometimes outdated or corrupted data is saved in your browser's cache. This can cause websites to load slowly or not at all, in which case you'll want to clear your browser's cache and start afresh. Here's how to do it.

You have two options for clearing Safari's cache. The quickest method is to select History from the browser's menu bar, then select Clear History. Safari will ask you which time range you want to clear: the last hour, today, today and yesterday, or all history. Clearing your history will delete both cached data and cookies.

The second method involves emptying only Safari’s cache. To do this, select Safari from the browser menu bar, then select the Advanced tab represented by a cog icon. Enable the Develop menu by checking Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar.

Select Microsoft Edge from the browser menu, then select Clear Browsing Data.

Then, find "Safety" > select "Delete Browsing History" from the submenu.

Select the time range you wish to delete: last hour, last 24 hours, last 7 days, last 4 weeks, or all time. By default, browsing history, download history, cookies and other site data, and cached images and files will all be checked. You can also choose to delete passwords, autofill form data, and site permissions.

Once you've made your selections, click Clear Now.
