Safari->Settings->Advanced->check "Show features for web developers”. A “Develop” menu item should show up in the top Safari menu bar. Click on that Develop menu and select Empty Caches. A shortcut of option-command-E will also work. Unless you are a developer and know what you are doing I would recommend you not play around with other options. That could result in messing up your Safari browser.

Sadly, this didn't work. When I went to the develop tab and clicked on empty cache, it wasn't grayed out but still did nothing when I clicked on it. When I took the long way through Safari settings, clicking on privacy to manage website data, that, too, did nothing. Nothing is grayed out and I am able to click on items, but nothing is being removed. Please advise.
