How Do I Clear the Cache on Desktop Browsers?
When a new update is available or when you opt into beta testing, we suggest clearing your browsing history, cache, and cookies to ensure you have the best experience possible. Sometimes when you introduce new information, your browser can hold on to old data, which causes pages to load slowly or could cause glitches in the system. If you have not recently cleared your cache, doing so is a recommended first troubleshooting step.
