How to Delete Your Browser Cache/Temporary Internet Files

The Temporary Internet Files (or cache) folder contains Web page content that is stored on your hard disk. This cache speeds up your viewing by permitting your browser to download only the content that has changed since you last viewed a Web page, instead of downloading all the content for a page every time it is displayed.

The method you use to delete your cache (Netscape) or temporary internet files (Microsoft Internet Explorer and America Online) will depend on the browser software you use. Click on the appropriate browser from the list below to access the directions for your browser software.

NOTE: Older or very new versions of browser software may not be represented by the instructions below. In such cases, please refer to the help file included with your browser software.
