How do I clear cache in Safari now?

You can enable the Develop menu to clear the cache if you don't want to clear your history...

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar

Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

For some reason Apple buried the ability to clear Safari's cache in the Develop menu, which you have to enable.

Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop menu in menu bar: check

Develop menu > Empty Caches.

The 'Official' Apple method is to: Close down ALL applications except Finder then, at the top Tool Bar on the left where you'll see 'Go' as here:-

While holding down the Alt key click on the Go option and you'll see this:-

Send the Safari one (I send them all) to the Trash, don't empty the Trash yet. Re-start your computer. Then empty the trash.

Hi, if you need to clear Safari caches only, then go Preferences ->‘Advanced’ tab then check ‘Show Develop Menu’ then you would be able to see a new 'Develop' menu at the top, click here and select the ‘Empty Caches’ option.

That's it! If you want to know more ways of how to clear cache files or history in Safari or, please try this great post https://macappgeeks.com/clear-safari-cache-file-on-mac

I'm on OS 10.13.1, High Sierra, and Safari 11.0.1.

Testing locally, with 'Disable Local File Restrictions'.

The link provided in the previous post gives nothing new.

Wasting hours trying to clear the cache while testing css/javascript combinations.

There's no 'Disable Cache' option in the developer menu--nor in previous OS, Sierra.

Even if I use the option-Go menu, and delete from the library "com.apple.Safari"--still, I need to quit the browser and re-load twice before the new code is displayed.

Help!

1. Upper right hand corner. Menu tab will appear.

2. Click the "privacy" tab.

Safari... Reset Safary... or something similar. And you will have a choice to reset many things as cache

I have it in Italian I hope you find it if my translation is not perfect.

Wrong suggestion.

No problem 🙂 Appreciate the points!

Was my suggestion wrong ?

Walter --

In Mountain Lion, the option for clearing the Safari cache is no longer there.

Why? Nobody here knows. Bad decision, IMHO.

It's not easy to keep up with all the changes from one Safari version to the next.

If you click Safari > Reset Safari

You won't see any options for clearing the cache directly, but you can clear the cache by selecting: Clear History

But not everyone wants to lose their History so we suggest alternatives such as enabling the develop menu.

Thanks. I have learned too.

Unfortunately I cannot give points.

Now I have Developr set on the menu.

why does it knock me off the net when I empty the cache?

I do not see that option . I use Safari 6.0.2.

Can you help ?
