Are you experiencing problems with your Gmail account such as slow loading or difficulty in sending or receiving emails? The issue might be due to your browser’s cache. All web browsers have a cache to store information on your computer so that it works faster and more efficiently. However, over time, the cache can cause problems to creep in. Fortunately, clearing the cache on your web browser can solve these issues.
In this guide, we will show you how to clear your Gmail cache quickly on the Chrome web browser. If you use a different browser, the steps may be slightly different.
First, log in to Gmail using the web browser of your choice. Then, move your mouse to the top right of the browser and click on the three dots or Ellipsis icon. A list of options will be presented, and you should scroll down to the settings choice near the bottom. Click on that once to choose it.
On the settings page, move your mouse to the left-hand panel and click once on the privacy and security option to select it. Next, move down the page a little and go into the cookie section of the browser to clear the cache. Click on that option once to open it.
To delete only the cached information stored for Gmail, click on the option to see all data and permissions. This shows a list of all the websites that have cached information. Look for Google.com by clicking on the search option at the top right of the page. Once you find it, click on the small drop-down arrow to the right of the Google row. A list of all the Google websites that have cached information will be shown, but the only one we’re interested in is mail.google.com, which relates to Gmail.
To clear the Gmail cache only, click on the delete icon on the far right of that row. Google will then confirm that you will be logged out of your Gmail account, and any permissions you’ve chosen, such as email notifications, will be reset. Remember that your emails in Gmail will not be impacted in any way. Finally, click on the blue clear button to confirm that the Gmail cache has now been cleared.
