How do i clear cache for one website

You may sometimes feel the need to delete or clear the Cookies & Site Data for a specific website only – and not the entire Browsing History – especially if you face errors like 400 Bad Request. Let us see how to do it in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox browsers.

How do I clear the cache for a specific website?

Usually, we delete the entire Cookie cache of that browser. It means, when you exercise this option, you will be clearing all the Cookies. But if you don’t do this, you will have to clear the Cookie for that domain only.

Clear Cookies & Site Data for specific websites in Chrome

Open your Google Chrome browser. Type the following in the address bar and hit Enter:

Follow the steps below to delete site-specific cookies and cache in Google Chrome:

1. Launch Google Chrome and enter the following in the address bar: “chrome://settings/siteData” and skip to step #5.
2. Alternatively, click on the Menu (three dots) from the top right corner and click on Settings.
3. Go to Privacy and security on the left pane and click “Cookies and other site data”.
4. Scroll down and click on “See all cookies and site data”.
5. Type the name of the website for which you want to delete data (eg. Google.com) in the “Search cookies” text box in the top right corner. The list is filtered showing only data from the searched domain.
6. Choose the data you want to delete and click on the bin icon next to the appropriate entries. You can even remove individual cookies and site data by selecting a particular site entry, and then clicking the ‘x’ icon adjacent to individual items. If your search filters multiple domains, you can remove all the filtered cookies and site data by clicking on “Remove All Shown”. Chrome will ask for confirmation; click on Clear all to delete all the filtered data.

The cookies and site data for the specific website is now removed.

Clear cookies, cache and site data for a specific website in Edge (Chromium)

Note: The below steps are only applicable for the modern Chromium version of the Edge browser. The legacy version of Microsoft Edge does not support site-specific cookies and data removal.

If you’re using the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge, follow the steps below to clear all cookies, cache, and site data for specific websites.

1. Launch Microsoft Edge (Chromium) and enter the following in the address bar: “edge://settings/siteData” and skip to step #6.
2. Alternatively, click on the Menu (three dots) from the top right corner and click on Settings.
3. Click on Site Permissions from the left nav panel.
4. Under Site Permissions, click on Cookies and site data.
5. Click on “See all cookies and site data”.
6. Type the name of the website for which you want to delete data (eg. Google.com) in the “Search cookies” text box in the top right corner. The list is filtered showing only data from the searched domain.
7. Choose the data you want to delete and click on the bin icon next to the appropriate entries. You can even remove individual cookies and site data by selecting a particular site entry, and then clicking the bin icon adjacent to individual items. If your search filters multiple domains, you can remove all the filtered cookie and site data by clicking on “Remove all shown”. Edge will ask for confirmation; click on Clear to delete all the filtered data.

The cookies and site data for the specific website is now removed.

Clear cache, cookies and site data for specific websites in Internet Explorer 11

If you’re still using the legacy Internet Explorer, this is how you need to delete site-specific cache, cookies, and other data from your browser.

1. Launch Internet Explorer and navigate to the website for which you want to delete cookies and cache.
2. Press F12 to launch Developer Tools and go to the Network tab.
3. To clear the cache for the current website, click on the “Clear browser cache” button or press Ctrl + R.

This will remove the cookies and data for that specific website.

By deleting site-specific data, you can resolve rendering issues with particular websites without impacting your experience on other websites. On rare occasions, these issues might persist even after clearing the website data. In such situations, you might need to reset your browser and start a new session from scratch. But that solution should be kept aside as a last resort.
