How to Clear Your Cache: Internet Explorer & Microsoft Edge
Caching Problems?
As explained in our previous post of this series; “How to Clear Your Cache: Google Chrome”, clearing your cache is beneficial because it allows website edits to show up properly, and helps with privacy and security.

Below is our helpful infographic, explaining the steps for clearing your cache in both Internet Explorer & Microsoft Edge:
Added Benefits
In the past, your saved passwords would be lost during a cache refresh; however many browsers (such as Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge) have added the option to choose what gets cleared when you empty your browsing data.
