CLEAR THE BROWSER CACHE OUT

Web browsers also tend to collect stuff that can gum up the works.  If you visit a website that often changes in subtle ways, you may not load the recent rendition of that page.  When working on a webpage, I am constantly clearing the browser cache to view the most recent changes.  What follows pertains specifically to Google Chrome, but Edge is very similar.  So we want to delete our Temporary Internet Files.

First, we open the Chrome Browser Control panel by clicking the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

When the Chrome Settings screen opens, you want to click on "Privacy and security."   From there, click "Clear browsing data." 

Next we select how far back we want to delete.

And then click Clear data button.

A word about deleting Cookies.  Deleting the Cookies is in itself a good thing.  But deleting your Cookies will DELETE ALL THE STORED USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS.  That is why you may want to delete the cookies.  It is also why you may not want to delete your cookies.
