如果你在Microsoft Edge中遇到持续的性能或站点加载问题,或者如果浏览器完全拒绝打开,则可能与过时或损坏的网络缓存有关。
本教程将解释为什么您可能想要删除 Microsoft 的多平台 Web 浏览器中的缓存,以及如何在Windows、macOS、Android和 iOS 上执行此操作。

为什么你应该清除Microsoft Edge中的缓存(Cache)
有没有想过为什么Microsoft Edge在您重新访问网页时打开网页的速度比第一次加载网页时更快?这是因为它将图像、站点索引和其他形式的数据等网络内容缓存到桌面或移动设备上的本地存储中。
几乎所有其他浏览器(如Google Chrome、Mozilla Firefox和Apple Safari)都这样做(Apple Safari—does)是为了加快速度,因此Edge并没有做任何与众不同的事情。
Web浏览器自动管理缓存数据。例如,如果服务器端发生变化,它会用新数据替换缓存。然而,这种情况很少发生,这意味着您最终会看到过时的 Web 内容,或者在访问网站或与网站交互时遇到问题。
有时,过时或损坏的缓存会阻止浏览器本身打开。这就是为什么在浏览器故障排除期间清除网络缓存始终是一个好主意。边缘(Edge)也不例外。
除了缓存(Cached)的站点数据,浏览器还会存储称为“cookie”的其他文件。这些微小的数据有助于浏览器记住您的站点偏好(例如您添加到购物车的东西)和登录会话信息。您也可以在清除边缘(Edge)缓存时删除它们,但不方便登录所有网站。
如何清除Windows中的Microsoft Edge 缓存(Microsoft Edge Cache)
在Windows 10和 11 中,您可以直接从 Web 浏览器清除Microsoft Edge缓存。(Microsoft Edge)要做到这一点:
- 打开Edge菜单(选择浏览器窗口右上角带有三个点的图标)并选择Settings。

- 选择立即清除。
提示:使用Ctrl + Shift + Delete键盘快捷键可立即访问“清除(Clear)浏览器数据”弹出窗口。
如果您在Windows(Windows) PC上打开Microsoft Edge时遇到问题,可以通过文件资源管理器(File Explorer)清除缓存文件。要做到这一点:
- 打开文件资源管理器。
- 将以下路径复制并粘贴到文件资源管理器(File Explorer)地址栏中,然后按 Enter:
%localappdata% \Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache\Cache_Data

- 按 Ctrl + A 并删除(Press Ctrl)Cache_Data文件夹中
的所有内容。

要通过文件资源管理器删除(File Explorer)Microsoft Edge中的 cookie :
- 将以下路径复制并粘贴到 文件资源管理器(File Explorer)地址栏中,然后按 Enter:
%localappdata% \Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Network
- 删除标有 Cookie 的文件。
清除macOS 上
的Microsoft Edge 浏览器缓存(Microsoft Edge Browser Cache)
如果您在 Mac 上使用 Microsoft Edge(use Microsoft Edge on your Mac),您可以通过以下步骤清除其缓存和 cookie。
- 打开微软边缘。
- Select Microsoft Edge > Clear Browsing Data在菜单栏上
选择 Microsoft Edge > 清除浏览数据。

- 打开时间(Time)范围下的下拉菜单并选择所有时间。

- 删除标有 Cookie 的文件。
清除Android上的Microsoft Edge 缓存(Microsoft Edge Cache)
在移动版Microsoft Edge for Android中,通过浏览器的(Android)设置(Settings)面板
清除缓存和 cookie 。
- 打开Edge菜单(点击屏幕底部带有三个点的图标)并选择Settings。

- 点击隐私(Tap Privacy)和安全 > 清除浏览数据。
- 将时间范围设置为所有时间。
- 选中缓存(Cached)的图像和文件以及 Cookie 和站点数据
旁边的框。

- 点击清除数据。
假设(Suppose)您无法打开Microsoft Edge。在这种情况下,请通过Android 设置(Android Settings)应用程序清除浏览器的缓存。
- 打开“设置”(Settings)应用程序并点按“应用程序(Apps)” 。

- 点击 Microsoft Edge。

- 点击 iPhone 存储。

- 点击边缘。
- 点击删除应用程序。

- 通过 App Store 下载 Edge。
退出 Edge 时
始终清除缓存(Cache)
没有理由清除Microsoft Edge缓存,除非你要解决浏览器的特定问题。否则,您最终只会减慢浏览器的速度。Cookie 是另一回事,因为它们往往会在线跟踪您(they do tend to track you online)。但同样,反复清除 cookie 可能会损害您的浏览体验。
如果担心隐私问题,您可以在 Edge 的 InPrivate 浏览窗口中匿名浏览(browse anonymously in Edge’s InPrivate browsing windows),以阻止浏览器记录您的浏览数据。
或者,您可以自定义和配置您的浏览器,使其在每次退出时自动删除缓存和 cookie。在Windows和 macOS 上,将以下路径复制并粘贴到Edge地址栏中,然后按 Enter:
edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
然后,决定在每次退出浏览器时删除哪些形式的浏览数据——如缓存、cookie 和浏览历史记录。

如果你使用安卓(Android)版Edge,进入Settings > Privacy和Security > Clear浏览数据,打开退出时清除浏览数据旁边的开关。遗憾的是,您无法将适用于 iOS 的Microsoft Edge配置为自动删除您的浏览数据。
How to Clear Cache in Microsoft Edge (And Why You Should)
If you encounter persistеnt performаnce or site loading issues in Microsoft Edge, or if the browser refuses to opеn altogether, it could be something to do with an оbsolete or corrupt web cache.
This tutorial will explain why you might want to delete the cache in Microsoft’s multi-platform web browser and how to do that on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.

Why You Should Clear the Cache in Microsoft Edge
Ever wonder why Microsoft Edge opens web pages faster when you revisit them as opposed to loading them for the first time? That’s because it caches web content like images, site indexes, and other forms of data to the local storage on your desktop or mobile.
Pretty much every other browser out there—like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari—does that to speed things up, so Edge isn’t doing anything out of the ordinary.
Web browsers manage cached data automatically. For example, if there’s a change on the server side, it replaces the cache with fresh data. Rarely, however, that just doesn’t happen, which means you end up viewing outdated web content or run into problems while accessing or interacting with websites.
Sometimes, an outdated or corrupt cache can stop the browser itself from opening. That’s why clearing the web cache is always a good idea during browser troubleshooting. Edge is no exception.
Cached site data aside, browsers store additional files called “cookies.” These tiny bits of data help the browser remember your site preferences—like the stuff you add to a shopping cart—and login session info. You can also delete them while clearing the Edge cache but at the inconvenience of signing into websites all over.
How to Clear the Microsoft Edge Cache in Windows
In Windows 10 and 11, you can clear the Microsoft Edge cache directly from the web browser. To do that:
- Open the Edge menu (select the icon with three dots on the top right corner of the browser window) and select Settings.

- Select Privacy, Search, and Services on the left sidebar.

- Scroll down to the Clear browsing data section and select the Choose What to Clear button.

- Open the drop-down menu under Time range and select All time.
- Enable the check boxes next to Cache images and files and Cookies and site data. Also, select any other types of data to delete—e.g., browsing history, download history, site permissions, etc.

- Select Clear Now.
Tip: Use the Ctrl + Shift + Delete keyboard shortcut to instantly access the “Clear browser data” pop-up.
If you have trouble opening Microsoft Edge on your Windows PC, it’s possible to clear cached files via File Explorer. To do that:
- Open File Explorer.
- Copy and paste the following path into the File Explorer address bar and press Enter:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache\Cache_Data

- Press Ctrl + A and delete all the contents inside the Cache_Data folder.

To delete cookies in Microsoft Edge through File Explorer:
- Copy and paste the following path into the File Explorer address bar and press Enter:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Network
- Delete the file labeled Cookies.
Clear the Microsoft Edge Browser Cache on macOS
If you use Microsoft Edge on your Mac, you can clear its cache and cookies by working through the following steps.
- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Select Microsoft Edge > Clear Browsing Data on the menu bar.

- Open the pull-down menu under Time range and select All time.
- Check the boxes next to Cache images and files and Cookies and site data.

- Select Clear Now.
If you have trouble opening Microsoft Edge on your Mac, you can clear the contents of the cache folder via Finder.
- Control-click the Finder icon on the Dock and select Go to Folder.

- Copy and paste the following path and press Return.
~/Library/Caches/Microsoft Edge/Default/Cache/Cache_Data

- Delete all the contents inside the Cache_Data folder.

To delete Microsoft Edge cookies through Finder:
- Copy and paste the following path into the File Explorer address bar and press Return:
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge/Default
- Delete the file labeled Cookies.
Clear the Microsoft Edge Cache on Android
In the mobile version of Microsoft Edge for Android, clear the cache and cookies through the browser’s Settings pane.
- Open the Edge menu (tap the icon with three dots at the bottom of the screen) and select Settings.

- Tap Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
- Set the Time range to All time.
- Check the boxes next to Cached images and files and Cookies and site data.

- Tap Clear data.
Suppose you can’t open Microsoft Edge. In that case, clear the browser’s cache through the Android Settings app.
- Open the Settings app and tap Apps.

- Tap Microsoft Edge.
- Tap Storage and cache > Clear cache.

Clear the Microsoft Edge Cache on Your iPhone
Like on Android, you can clear the Microsoft Edge cache on its app for iPhone through the browser’s settings pane.
- Open the Edge menu (tap the three-dot icon at the bottom of the screen) and select Settings.

- Go to Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
- Set Time range to All time.
- Select Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data.

- Tap Clear now.
Unlike on Android, however, there’s no way to clear the Microsoft Edge cache if you have trouble opening the browser. Hence, your only option, in that case, is to remove and reinstall the app.
- Open the Settings app and tap General.
- Tap iPhone Storage.

- Tap Edge.
- Tap Delete App.

- Download Edge via the App Store.
Always Clear the Cache When You Exit Edge
There’s no reason to clear the Microsoft Edge cache unless you’re looking to fix a specific problem with the browser. Otherwise, you’ll only end up slowing down the browser. Cookies are another matter since they do tend to track you online. But again, clearing cookies repeatedly can be detrimental to your browsing experience.
If privacy is a concern, you can browse anonymously in Edge’s InPrivate browsing windows to stop the browser from keeping a record of your browsing data.
Alternatively, you can customize and configure your browser to automatically delete the cache and cookies each time you exit it. On Windows and macOS, copy and paste the following path into an Edge address bar and press Enter:
edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
Then, decide which forms of browsing data to delete—like the cache, cookies, and browsing history—when you exit the browser each time.

If you use the Android version of Edge, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data, and turn on the switch next to Clear browsing data upon exit. Sadly, you can’t configure Microsoft Edge for iOS to auto-delete your browsing data.
