Deleting Cache on Edge for One Site

If you don’t want to clear all your Edge cache, you can target specific site cache through the developer tools. Here’s how:

Using Edge’s Developer Tools (for Specific Cache)

1. Open Edge: Launch Microsoft Edge on your computer.
   
2. Go to website you wish to clear cache for
3. Open Developer Tools:
   • Right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press F12.
4. Navigate to the Network Tab:
   • In the Developer Tools pane, click on the “Network” tab.
5. Clear Cache for the Site:
   • With the network tool open, check the box “Disable cache” while dev tools are open, which forces the browser to ignore cached data. Refresh the page to clear cache specifically for that site.
