How To Clear Your Browser Caches and Cookies

Screen Shot 2017 04 13 at 5.42.22 PMIt was a good meeting last night of the MUG, 2 hours of steady discussion about DIY care and maintenance of your Mac computer. One thing we had to rush at the end was how to clear your browser cookies and caches. So for Jornn, who was asking, In Safari, navigate to the Preferences in the Safari menu and choose the Privacy tab. Select Manage Website Data and then choose to remove all data. This will clear all cookies and browser cache files off your computer, for security and performance.
