Manually Clear the IE Cache will help fixing various issues from asp.net and sharepoint application

I had encountered various issue that application works fine in the development and testing environment.

but some times it failed in the user testing. the issues can be encoutnered in the following situation.

1. the modification of the stylesheet.

2. the update on the javascript files

3. the change of the user credential that user had been added to new AD group

usually we will think that we just go Tools Menu from the Tool Bar, then select Internet options









go to browsing history section and click on the delete button





















check all the check-boxes to clear everything



we thought that if we follow the above steps, we will be able to clear everything that IE had been cached.
 However this is not always true. if we want to really clear everything that IE had cached in the file system. we have to go the cache folder and manually delete them.

1. from the internet options popup windows, go to the browsing history section, click on the Settings Button



2. click on the View Files button to open the Temporary Internet Files Folder



3. you will see lots of files in these folder. Use Contrl A to select all files and delete them.. then you will finally clear the IE cache
