How to Clear Cookies and Cache in Microsoft Edge

What is the browser cache? As you surf the internet, your browser collects small bits of information that help it load your favorite sites faster. These build up in your browser's cache. Sometimes, old information can get stuck and cause your most commonly browsed websites to work incorrectly: take you to incorrect pages or bounce you back to login pages. The browser can also become bogged down when the cache gets too large and actually slow down the loading speed of the page. This is when you'll want to clear your cache. After clearing your cache, you may experience temporary slowness as your browser starts from scratch in loading your favorite pages, but it will pick up shortly.

Cookies are small files that contain information about how you use a particular website. Passwords and site preferences are stored in cookies, which make them very useful. However, sometimes old information can be stored and not replaced which can cause the same types of issues as your cache.

Many browsers have 2 options for clearing cookies: clearing ALL cookies (this is a drastic action which will remove any saved logins) and clearing specific cookies (this is what is covered in this how-to).

  1. Open Microsoft Edge and select Settings.

  2. From the menu on the left select: Cookies and site permissions > Manage and Delete Cookies and site data.

  3. Select See all cookies and site data.

  4. Search for the site's cookies you want to remove. ('rap' & 'bari' are good search terms.)

  5. Click the button Remove All Shown.

  6. Click on Privacy, Search, and Services from the left-hand menu.

  7. Scroll down to Clear Browsing Data Now and click the Choose What to Clear button.

  8. Time-frame: All Time;  Just Cached Images & Files checkbox; Click Clear Now.

  9. Quit & Close your browser. Immediately re-open and continue working.
