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."
