How To Clear Your Cache
If you are having troubles logging in to a website — such as your webmail account– or pages are taking an extra-unusually long time to load, the first thing to try is to “refresh” (sometimes called “clear”) your browser.
If you call Tech Support for help logging in, the first thing they”ll tell you is to “clear your cache”. What they’re refering to is deleting all your cookies, and here’s how you do that.
1. On your desktop, launch Internet Explorer. (If you use an alternative browser, the menu names may be a little different, but the steps follow the same principle.)
2. On the “Tools” menu, click “Internet Options.”
3. Under Browsing history, click “Delete.”
4. In the Delete Browsing History window, click “Delete cookies.” If you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click “Yes.” It may take several minutes to delete these files if you have a lot of files, then click “Close.”
For a more complete repair of Internet Explorer– for more serious troubles– read Tip#2 in this article.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

I think Ccleaner is really great. You don’t need to go to the steps manually clean your Cache. Just run the program and it’s done.
