How can I clear the cache in Google Chrome?

Scenario:

You want to clear the cache in Google Chrome.

Solution:

There are multiple ways to clear the cache in Chrome. These include:

  1. Click the Tools Menu (the wrench in the upper right corner), select “options”, select the “under the hood” tab, click “clear browsing data” and check all the boxes for the items you want to clear, then click “Clear Browsing Data”.
  2. Push F12, then click on refresh and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”
  3. Pressing Control+F5 or Shift+F5 (Google’s site says both of these should work)
  4. Open a new incognito or private window with Control+Shift+N. This window won’t use the cache, stored cookies or stored DNS resolutions (it will fetch them all fresh).
