Instead, it’s the browser trying to load the site using cached data. For instance, when you open a website, it may look broken, but it’s not a problem with the site. The only problem is that caching data and cookies over time can cause issues that may prevent websites from loading correctly on Microsoft Edge. Microsoft Edge downloads and stores data from websites, such as files and images that are also referred to as “cache” data, cookies (small files containing data for a specific site), and other information to load pages faster the next time you visit them.

On Windows 11 or 10, you can clear the cache, cookies, and other information (such as passwords, history, etc.) from Microsoft Edge, and in this guide, you will learn how.

To clear the cache on Microsoft Edge, open “edge://settings/privacy,” click “Choose what to clear,” select the “Cached images and files” and “Cookies and other site data” options and any other browsing data to delete, and click “Clear now” to clear the browser cache.
