How do I clear the web browser's cache or history?

Each time you access a file through your web browser, the browser stores that information in a cache. By doing this, the browser does not have to reacquire files from a web site each that you access that site.  You should periodically clear your cache to allow your browser to function more efficiently.

A cookie is a file created by a web browser, at the request of a web site, that is then stored on a computer. These files typically store user-specific information such as form information, shopping cart contents, or authentication data. Browsers will normally clear cookies that reach a certain age, but clearing them manually may solve problems with your browser.

A browser history is a log of sites that you visit. Browsers will normally clear the history at regular intervals, but you may want to clear it manually for privacy.
