Delete browser cache in Mac OS / OS X

Each browser handles clearing the cache data differently. As in Windows each browser on Apple devices has it's own place to store the cache data. Here we show you, step by step, how to delete the cached files in the Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera browsers.

To delete the cache on a Mac in the Firefox browser, please do the following:

1. In the main menu of the browser select "History" and below that the submenu-item "Clear Recent History..."
2. A popup opens. In the drop-down menu, you can define the time range you want to delete the cache. You have the following options: last hour, last two hours, last four hours, today or Everything.
3. To delete all cache data, select "Everything" from the drop-down menu.
4. Afterwards, click on the arrow next to "Details" to show the different possibilities for which data should be deleted. If you want to delete only the cache, then check only the checkbox next to "Cache".
5. With a click on the button "Clear now" you delete the cache.
6. Reload the site afterwards.

In the Opera browser, you can delete the cache quite easily. Follow this step by step guide to find the options.

2. The settings open in the browser window within a popup window. In the drop-down menu at the top of the popup, you can select which time range you want to delete the cache for.
