Why Clear Cache and Cookies?
Clearing the Cache and Cookies from a web browser is an essential first step for troubleshooting internet browsing issues. For example, the “cache” can sometimes cause problems when websites are updated and developed, as files saved in the cache may conflict with the code. Clearing the Cache and Cookies can resolve issues loading updated pages in your browser.

If you experience issues connecting to the Tech Group online meeting, try clearing your cache and Cookies.

Shortcut to Clear the Cache and Cookies for Most Browsers
If you use Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. You can quickly clear the cache with a keyboard shortcut.
While in your browser, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete simultaneously on the keyboard to open the appropriate window.

Note: It is usually only necessary to clear “Browser history” and “Cached images and files.” You can uncheck the other items. Likewise, removing Cookies or any other things is generally not essential.

I do recommend selecting “All Time” as the Time Range.
