TIP:
Navigator 3.x and Communicator 4.x users: If you're often having to reload frequently updated pages, you may want to take this chance to set "Verify Documents" option to "Every Time." This will make the browser retreive the latest copy of a web page even if it's in the cache.

Explorer 3.x:

Select "View | Options..." from the main menu Change to the "Advanced" tab Click on "Settings" button Click on "Empty Folder..."

TIP:
If you're running out of hard disk space, you could reduce percent of disk space used by Explorer 3.x for its cache by sliding the "Amount of disk space to use" guage.

Explorer 4.x:

Select "View | Internet Options..." from the main menu Change to the "General" tab
Click on "Delete Files" button

TIP:
If you have Explorer 4.x Active Channel subscriptions, check "Delete all subscription content" to delete cached channel content as well.

Select "Members | Preferences" from the main menu Click on the "WWW" button
