Safari 6 cache

[kenmiles]

Can anyone help please.
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and Safari 6 but no longer see the command to empty the cache in the menu.
Thanks in advance, Ken,

To clear the cache go to safari prefs/advance and turn on developer. In developer you can scroll down and see it.

Thanks for that, I would NEVER have found that command.

I found it by accident...Why did they hide it under the DEV section I wonder? Emptying your browser cache is a common operation. All you get from the menu without the DEV section active is re-set Safari, which is far more aggressive...Odd.

From Safari Help Menu:

Clear history
Clears the list of webpages you viewed. Also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty.


The crazy thing is that there is another "Emplty Cache" in the Developers menu, as well.

Doesn't the developer option only empty the page-cache, since that's what web developers will be most interested in clearing to ensure Safari fetches fresh content?

I wondered this also, they didn't need to change that locations as the file size can get large or become corrupted.

I believe so.
