Go to the History menu, and the last option should read “Clear History”. That will also delete cookies and caches.

(To clear the history and keep cookies, hold the Option (alt) key while accessing the menu item.)

Alternatively, you can delete cookies through: Preferences﹥Privacy﹥Manage Website Data﹥Remove All.


To empty just the caches, activate the Develop menu (through: Preferences﹥Advanced﹥☑︎ Show Develop menu in menu bar), and select Empty Caches from there.
