How to empty cache

Usually I clear the Safari Cache once a week and clean up cookies as well.
I noticed after upgrading to Mountain Lion, the Empty Cache is no longer shown on the Safari drop down.
How is this done now?
Thanks,
Sonja

On Mountain Lion, the option to empty Safari cache is hidden, but you can continue using it. Follow these steps:
1. Open Safari, go to Safari menu > Preferences > Advanced, and tick "Show Develop menu on menu bar"-
2. Close Preferences window, and go to Develop menu > Empty caches

No, clicking the "Clear Now" button is enough to clear the cache. You get no confirmation. You can verify the current cache usage via the location bar on the about:cache page.

How do I empty "cache"?

How do I empty "cache"?

The best way to do this is simply to boot into Safe Mode.
Here's what to do:
1. Restart your computer
2. Just as you hear the chime sound and see a white screen on startup, hold down the shift key
3. You will see a progress bar as your computer boots into safe mode and clears your cache.
4. Simply restart normally, and your cache is clear.
Good luck!

After upgrading to mt lion, i lost the option to 'empty cache' on my safari browser. This interferes with some playing pogo games and other issues related to Java. How can I get the option back or how do I empty the cache?

Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and check Show Develop menu in menu bar. Then it's in the Develop menu.

How to empty my cache & cookies

Updated my operating system to Safari 6.0 and can not figure out how to delete my cookies & cache. Option is no longer under preferences tab. Does anyone know?

For some reason Apple buried it in Preferences.
Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy.
To clear Safari's cache you have to enable the Develop menu. That choice is in the Advanced pane. Show the Develop menu, then a Develop menu will appear with the option "Empty Caches".

How do I recover search bar and empty cache function in Safari?

My search bar function is gone from Safari and my empty cache function is gone from Safari after the last update. I only get the URL bar. I've tried deleting and then dragging the toolbar items back in. doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Don't like it. Any idea why I don't have an empty cache function under the Safari drop down menu?

How do you empty cache?

There's no more "Empty Cache" button under Safari tab.

Yep. If you only want to remove the History cache, you do that under the History menu of Safari.

Can I reset my search engine to Wikipedia? I don't want any of those default Search Engines anymore they are too intrusive. And I can not Empty Cache any more and Google has taken over the address bar?

Can someone please explain how this now works? And am I obligated to load Mountain Lion. It's a very expensive price to pay for online privacy that isn't even Private anymore. I am old enough that I don't have to pay ransome. I can just quit.
I didn't say and was never asked If I wanted Mountain Lion. I can no longer 'Empty Cache' at the end of a session online and when I do a search now (and this has all changed overnight) the query is typed into what used to be the address bar and when the search results appear, after reading the first result and I want to read the second or fifth or Any of the other results of the query I am forced to resubmit the search in the address bar because the 'Page Back' button has been removed and the Little Red Dot closes the Search Results Page altogether.
What else am I in for with Mountain Lion? I already know that I do NOT want anything to do with iCloud. I am willing to bet a lot of money that a pharmaceutical company one day is going to be holding me for ransome with a new drug that was created out of the symptoms of a once - upon - a - time naturally occuring symptom of aging. At least I can turn my Macbook off and leave it that way and the world will not cease to exist. (Or will it?)

Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Safari 6.0 empty cache

Does anybody know how to empty the cache in Safari 6.0, within the new OS. Used to be empty cache was a click under the Safari pull down menu. Now the 'empty cache' is gone. They have the 'reset Safari' click, but that is not what I want to do. Just empty the cache, if that is still possible. I can't think of a good reason why Apple will take this option away. Thanks.

Enable the Develop menu in Safari Preferences > Advanced. The Empty Cache option will be there.

Empty cache but save passwords

how do i empty cache
while saving my passwords?
thx
Deb

Emptying the Safari cache will not delete passwords. Passwords are stored in HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access and viewable from Safari > Preferences > Passwords
With Safari open, press Command + Option + E on your keyboard to empty the cache.
And there's an alternate way of doing this.
Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from your Safari menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

Safari: 'empty cache' is gone !!??

When I click on the heading 'Safari' I can not choose 'empty cache' from the pull down menu because the sentence is gone!? How can I get it back? I don't know how the sentence disappeared from the menu... but it is gone !

Accoring to the Safari Help:
Clear the entire history list
Open Safari if it is not already open
Choose History > Clear History, and then click Clear.
To clear Top Sites as well as your history list, select “Also reset Top Sites.” The Top Sites page is based on your browsing history.
Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty.
