refresh command?

Hi,

That is something from way back in OS 9, IIRC. It is not necessary in OS X/macOS.

You can quit the Finder if you want, and I suspect that will "rebuild" something: Apple menu > Force Quit > Finder > Force Quit.

What is it you want to do?

Resetting the NVRAM and booting into Safe Mode cleans out a variety of things....

Repeating my reply again:

Is there something actually wrong that you're tying to fix?

Command R does nothing except at boot up, where it starts the Mac in Recovery Mode.

The original poster asked in the question , refresh desktop what does it mean ? don't know if he has opened the browser , refresh the page then command + R will do .

The question is not cleared .
