After it is finished deleting the files click on the Settings button (next to the Delete Files button). Set your browser to Check for a Newer Version of Stored Pages "Every Visit to the Page". Then click on View Files at the bottom of the window. If you have any files left in this window please select them and delete as well. Close the window. Click OK to close the Settings window, and OK to close the Internet Options window. Restart your computer, and try to access the website again.
Mozilla Firefox

Netscape
Click on the Edit menu >> Preferences . Under the Privacy & Security category choose Cookies. Click on the Manage Stored Cookies button, and then Remove All Cookies. Close the window using the Close button. Now look at the Category list again and choose Advanced >> Cache. On the Cache page click on the Clear Cache button. Click on OK to save the changes.
