Microsoft Edge is a web browser that comes pre-installed on Windows 10 operating system. Like any other web browser, Edge also stores a cache and cookies to speed up website loading times and improve user experience. However, sometimes clearing cache and cookies can solve some website-related issues or protect your privacy. In this article, we will show you how to Clear Cache Microsoft Edge
Before we start, please note that clearing cache and cookies can remove website preferences, login credentials, and other saved data, so it’s recommended to only Clear Cache Microsoft Edge
Step 1: Launch Microsoft Edge
First, launch Microsoft Edge by clicking on the Edge icon in the taskbar or by typing “Microsoft Edge” in the Windows search bar and selecting it from the results.
Step 2: Open the Settings menu
Once Edge is open, click on the three horizontal dots (also known as “ellipsis”) in the top-right corner of the window. This will open the Edge Settings menu.
Step 3: Go to the Privacy, Search, and Services section
In the Edge Settings menu, scroll down and click on the “Privacy, Search, and Services” option located in the left-hand sidebar.
Step 4: Clear browsing data
Under the “Privacy, Search, and Services” section, click on the “Choose what to clear” button located under the “Clear browsing data” section.
Step 5: Choose what to clear
In the “Clear browsing data” window, you can choose what data you want to clear. By default, all options are selected, including browsing history, cookies, and cached data. If you only want to clear cache and cookies, make sure to uncheck all other options.
Step 6: Select time range
You can also choose the time range for which you want to clear data. By default, the “All time” option is selected, which will clear all browsing data. However, if you want to clear cache and cookies for a specific period, you can select a different option, such as “Last hour,” “Last 24 hours,” or “Last 7 days.”
Step 7: Clear data
Once you have selected the options you want, click on the “Clear now” button. This will clear the selected browsing data, including cache and cookies.
