If you click: Remove All Websitte Data that deletes all stored cookies.


In order to empty the cache, you must enabled the Develop menu.


Go back to Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.


Click: Show Develop menu in menu bar


At the top of your screen. You should see Develop between Bookmarks and Window in the menu bar.


Click Develop then scroll down and click: Empty Caches

10.10


Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Caches.db and move it to the trash.


Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
