HOW TO GUIDE Clearing Cache & Cookies in Microsoft Edge |
Follow these simple steps to clear your browsing data, cookies, and cached files in Microsoft Edge. This is a quick way to resolve loading issues, sign-in problems, and outdated content on websites.
| ℹ Note: Clearing your cache and cookies will sign you out of most websites. Make sure you have your passwords saved or accessible before continuing. |
1 Open your Edge History 🕘 Click the three horizontal dots (⋯) in the upper-right corner of Microsoft Edge, then click History. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + H to open history directly. |
| Click the ⋯ menu → History (or press Ctrl + H) |
2 Click the trash icon 🗑 When the History panel opens, click the trash icon at the top of the panel. Hovering over it will show the tooltip Delete browsing data. |
| History panel → click the trash (Delete browsing data) icon |
3 Select All time and confirm what to clear ✅ In the Delete browsing data window, click the Time range drop-down and select All time. Make sure all of the following options are checked: |
| Time range → All time → check all four boxes → Clear now |
4 Restart Microsoft Edge 🔄 Close all open Microsoft Edge browser windows, then reopen Edge. This ensures all of your changes take effect and the browser starts with a clean cache. |
PRO TIP 💡 If a website still isn’t working correctly after clearing your cache, try opening the site in an InPrivate window (Ctrl + Shift + N). If it works there, the issue is likely a leftover extension or cached file — try disabling extensions one by one to identify the culprit. |
