1. Click on "Tools" and "Internet Options"
2. In "Temporary Internet Files", click on "Delete files" in order to clear the Cache

To clear the "Cache" into memory and/or on to the hard disk in the case of Netscape :

2. Choose "Advanced" and then "Cache"
  3. Click on "clear memory cache " and "clear disk cache"
