clear cache in web browsers (Internet Explorer / Firefox / Chrome)

[jeeswg]

- I was interested as to the best ways to clear the cache in various web browsers via the command line or via objects, specifically: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome. Although people could mention other browsers if they like. I.e. to reclaim a bit of disk space.
- I know a way to do this in Internet Explorer, but it may be out-of-date, by using ClearMyTracksByProcess.

Code: Select all

Send, ^{f5}

...In all seriousness though, the way I would consider doing this is manually deleting all of the cached files. In chrome, for example, cached files are stored in AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\

After a quick google search, it looks like firefox's cache is at AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
and IE's looks complicated, so here you go.

No clue if this is a potentially bad idea, but there's my advice.
