Clear cache for specific domain name in chrome

UPDATE: As of Chrome version 52.0.2743.116 m, you can perform the following steps:

F12 > Chrome Developer Tools > Application tab > Clear storage in left tree > Select the data items to clear, then click Clear site data.


This may be a quicker/simpler way:

  • Press F12 to open Chrome Developer Tools (will pop up from bottom)
  • Click settings "gear" icon in top-right corner
  • Under Network (previously General) check Disable cache
  • Reload page and re-enable caching by un-checking this box

After opening up the developer tools (usually by pressing F12) Click + Hold on the "Reload Page" button. From the popup list, choose "Empty Cache and Hard Reload".

Not sure this clears the cache for the entire domain. But probably satisfies 90% of the use cases of people that visit this SE question.

Note: In some cases this will NOT open the popup list. This is because the page isn't cached at that time, so the menu is not invoked.


Here's how to delete Chrome's cookies selectively by domain or subdomain:

  • go to chrome://settings/siteData (earlier versions: chrome://settings/content/cookies)
  • type the domain name in the search box
  • click delete

This can't however select cookies by web folders, e.g. www.domain.com/folder1.
