How to clear browser cache on windows 11?
Really need help on this. My browser is acting a bit sluggish on Windows 11 and I'm pretty sure it's time for a cache purge. I also noticed some websites aren't loading correctly, and I've heard that...

No problem! Let's fix that sluggish browser together. You're absolutely right – clearing browser cache often solves loading issues and sluggishness.
If You Want to Be Extra Safe:
- Close all browser windows first
- Open just one fresh browser window
- Use the Ctrl + Shift + Delete method above
- Close and reopen browser when done
What WON'T Be Deleted if you are going to Clear Browser Cache:
✅ All saved passwords (you'll stay logged in to sites)
✅ Bookmarks/Favorites
✅ Browser extensions/add-ons
✅ History (unless you check that box)
✅ Autofill information (addresses, credit cards)
✅ Downloaded files on your computer
✅ Browser settings
