How do I clear my browser cache?

Each time you visit a website your web browser will cache some of the data (that is, it stores it), to allow for quicker loading in future so it doesn't have to download the sames files all over again. Sometimes this can cause issues where you're making changes to your website on the server, but your browser might not neccessarily instantly see that. So you may need to periodically clear your browsers cache to get a 'fresh' copy.

Below are some steps for clearing your browsers cache in the most common web browsers, if your browser of choice isn't listed you can likely find the steps in it's help material or through a quick google serach.
When following the steps below your browser may also offer options to clear stored passwords, etc, this isn't needed for cache clears and may only cause you some gried, thus they're best left unchecked.

I am not that well versed with computers other than the basics. My mate told me a few days ago to download a program - CCleaner - and to run it occassionally which I did a few days ago. Is this program doing the same thing as what you are suggesting? After running the program I have to log back into sites for the first time.
thanks

Yes Jim, CCleaner removes your Temporary files, history, cookies, download history, form history, etc

so essentially does the same thing as clearing the Cache.
