I am viewing a site on localhost in Edge.
All I want to do is fully refresh the page and all of its resources (external CSS, external JavaScript, images, fonts, everything that the page links to - I want to reload it all again from the server).
How can I do this?
This seems like a simple request, but this is what I have tried so far:
- F5
- CTRL + F5
- CTRL + SHIFT + F5
- SHIFT F5
- Clearing the Cache (Settings > Clear browsing data > ticked everything > Show more > ticked everything in there > Clear)
- Restarting Edge
- Restarting computer
None of this has worked. I have a change in a CSS file and a change in a JavaScript file. Every time old versions of those files are being loaded.
I just want to do a hard refresh and reload everything in Edge - what am I missing to achieve this?
This problem doesn't happen in Chrome or Firefox (both show the latest content). I basically want a solution like this, but for Edge instead of Internet Explorer.

Thanks to @Jimmery I found a setting.
Tried Ctrl+R but it does not bypass cache
1You need to Open Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I) and when you right click the refresh button you have more refresh options like Ctrl+Shift+R to Reload the current page, ignoring cached content and another one to clear cache and refresh.
I think this solution can help you (in any browser):
in your html header tag, append an extra value to your css or js file address! like this:<link href="yourCssFile.css?v=1"/>the "?v=1" cause that your browser redownload your css file.
hope it help you ;)
With Chromium-based Edge, it’s Ctrl+F5.
I found for Edge only the answer from Heriberto Diaz using Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I) works for me.
