To clear the cache in Chrome, open the three-dot menu > More tools > Clear browsing data, select your time range (e.g., "All time"), check "Cached images and files," and click "Clear data" to remove temporary website files, or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Del to go directly to the settings.
Step-by-step guide (Desktop)
  1. Open Chrome on your computer.
  2. Click the three dots (More menu) in the top-right corner.
  3. Hover over More Tools (or go to Settings > Privacy and security) and select Clear browsing data.
  4. In the pop-up window, use the "Time range" dropdown to select how far back you want to clear data (e.g., "All time").
    • Make sure "Cached images and files" is checked. You can uncheck other options like browsing history or cookies if you want to keep them.
    • Click the blue "Clear data" button. 

    Here's a quick video showing the process
