A “Clear browsing data” box will open. Here, you will see a list of items that you can remove from your browser.
First, click the “Time range” dropdown menu and choose the time period for which you want to clear the cache. Then enable the “Cached images and files” option. Feel free to check other options as well if you want to clear them.
