To clear the browser cache, the common steps for major browsers are as follows:

• Google Chrome: Use the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE (Windows/Linux) or CMD + SHIFT + DELETE (Mac) to open the "Delete browsing data" window. Select "Cached images and files" and choose the time range, then click "Delete data" to clear the cache.

• Mozilla Firefox: Click the menu button, select "History" > "Clear Recent History," choose "Cache" and the desired time range, then click OK. Alternatively, use CTRL + SHIFT + DEL to open the clear history popup and clear the cache.

• Safari: You can clear all history including cache via Safari > Clear History selecting the time frame. For only cache, enable the Develop menu in Preferences > Advanced and then use Develop > Empty Caches.

• Microsoft Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data, select "Cached images and files," choose time range, and click "Clear now".

These methods generally allow clearing cached files to free up space or fix website loading issues without deleting passwords or form data unless specifically selected.
