how do I clear my temporary internet files?

Deleting your Temporary Internet Files is very easy and can be done using Microsoft Internet Explorer (Other browsers may differ):

1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.

2. In the top right menu system select "Tools" and on the drop down menu select "Internet Options".

3. A new window will popup. Under "Browsing History" select "Delete".

4. A new window will open. Under "Temporary Internet Files " select "Delete files... ".

5. Click "Close" (Closes that menu) and then "Ok" (Menu closes). Your browser will probably freeze up for a little bit while your files are being deleted (especially if you haven't deleted your files before).

 

why can i not see the changes to my website?

Your computer stores all images from websites you have visited in its Temporary Internet Files folder, so if you have been on the web page recently your computer will be using information stored in this location (Your computer does delete some of these files by it self, but only when the folder reaches a certain size). There are two ways to to make your computer refresh these stored files:

1. Use the Refresh button on your browser (this does not always work, so you need to clear your temporary internet files).

2. Clear your Temporary Internet Files folder.
