Question: Q: How do I clear cache in Safari now?

You can enable the Develop menu to clear the cache if you don't want to clear your history...

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.

Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar

Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

Safari... Reset Safary... or something similar. And you will have a choice to reset many things as cache

I have it in Italian I hope you find it if my translation is not perfect.

Wrong suggestion.

For some reason Apple buried the ability to clear Safari's cache in the Develop menu, which you have to enable.

Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop menu in menu bar: check

Develop menu > Empty Caches.

No problem 🙂 Appreciate the points!

Was my suggestion wrong ?

Walter --

In Mountain Lion, the option for clearing the Safari cache is no longer there.

Why? Nobody here knows. Bad decision, IMHO.

It's not easy to keep up with all the changes from one Safari version to the next.

If you click Safari > Reset Safari

You won't see any options for clearing the cache directly, but you can clear the cache by selecting: Clear History

But not everyone wants to lose their History so we suggest alternatives such as enabling the develop menu.

Thanks. I have learned too.

Unfortunately I cannot give points.

Now I have Developr set on the menu.

why does it knock me off the net when I empty the cache?

I do not see that option . I use Safari 6.0.2.

Can you help ?

Oh I found it, sorry

This function does not delete the Safari cache.db file, which contains details on all pages the user has visited. The only way to delete it is to do so manually in the Finder. Chrome and Firefox both delete their cache.db file when the user clears their browser data. Only Safari fails to do this.

This is an appaling privacy failure.

Really ? Where in the finder exactly ?

The Safari cache.db file is located in <username>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/

By default, Mountain Lion hides your home directory's Library folder (username/Library). To access it from Finder, you must open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to reveal the Library in the menu's drop down list. You can then click on Library in the menu, which will open it in a Finder window.

Once there, open the Caches folder and then the com.apple.Safari folder.
