How To Clear Your Gmail Cache

You can clear your cache in Gmail very simply and easily. Before doing so, however, you’ll want to make sure you won’t be losing anything you need. Removing your Gmail cache means you’ll be deleting backed-up emails as well. When you’re ready to clear your cache, you can do so using the steps below for the browser you are using (via Google.)
