Disposable Cache

Wednesday, May 15, 2013


Clearing your cache is a good place to start when VisNetic MailFlow is not rendering correctly in your browser, this is especially relevant after your installation of VisNetic MailFlow has been recently upgraded.

By clearing the cache, you ensure that your browser is going back to the web server to request the latest files, rather than just serving you what it has cached.

The Temporary Internet Files (or cache) folder is used by web browsers to store webpage content on the computer hard disk for quick viewing. 

Perform the following steps on any client computers exhibiting the issue.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 / 10
1. Click Tools in the left menu bar (if opened) or click on the Gear icon in the right toolbar.
2. Click Internet Options and choose the General tab.
3. Click the Delete... button under the "Browsing History" section.
4. Make sure you uncheck "Preserve Favorites Website Data" at the top of this window.
5. Make sure you check all options below "Preserve Favorites Website Data".
6. Click the Delete button.
 - Deleting files could take awhile if you have a lot of files and history.
