Clearing Internet Explorer's cache

If you use Internet Explorer, then these steps should resolve any problems with old content displaying.

If you use Internet Explorer 6

  1. Open Internet Explorer
  2. Go to Tools
  3. Internet Options
  4. Temporary Internet Files
  5. Settings
  6. Choose Every visit to the page.
  7. Now choose Ok
  8. Now choose Delete Files
  9. Check the box Delete all offline content and click Ok
  10. Your system will now remove offline content known as the browser cache, or browser's cache. Your system should now grab the latest copy of the page when you visit the site.
  11. Choose Ok for all menus until you'sre back where you started. If you choose cancel instead the changes will not be applied.

If you use Internet Explorer 7

  1. Open Internet Explorer
    (See TIP if you do not see File Edit and so on across the top of the browser)
  2. Go to Tools
  3. Internet Options
  4. General (Tab)
  5. Browsing history (section)
  6. Settings
  7. Choose Every time I visit the webpage.
  8. Now choose Ok

You'sre back at the General tab now. There is one more thing you have to do: Remove the old content.

  1. Click on Delete
    (Which is next to the Settings button you clicked just a moment ago.)
  2. Click Delete files
  3. Choose Yes
  4. Choose Close
  5. Your system will now remove offline content known as the browser cache, or browser's cache. Your system should now grab the latest copy of the page when you visit the site.
  6. Choose Ok for all menus until you're back where you started. If you choose cancel instead the changes will not be applied.

Old content will be removed and new content will be fetched when you attempt to visit a website.

Choose Ok for all menus until you're back where you started. If you choose cancel the changes will not be applied and you will still have the same problem.

But what if you still are seeing old content?

This is likely on your end as some Internet Service Providers (ISP) perform the same service your browser was doing: caching content.

This means you will continue to see the old content until their servers fetch the new stuff.

You will need to contact your ISP's customer service to have the problem resolved.
