Website not working right?⚡ Targeted Clear Site Data via DevTools (Right-Click Method)

Website not loading correctly? You may need to clear saved site data on your computer, you probably heard some say just clear your cookies, well here is how to do targeted site data clearing without affect ALL the websites and having to relogging in to every site again.

Steps (Works in Chrome and Edge):

  1. Right-click anywhere on the web page.

  2. Select "Inspect" to open DevTools.

  3. In DevTools, click the "Application" tab at the top.

    If you don’t see it, click the double arrows >> to find it in the overflow menu.

  4. On the left sidebar, under “Storage”, click “Clear storage”.

  5. In the right panel:

    • Make sure the checkboxes for Local Storage, Cookies, IndexedDB, Cache Storage, etc. are selected.

  6. Click the blue “Clear site data” button at the bottom.

🎯 This immediately removes all site-specific data (like local storage, cookies, and caches) without affecting other sites.

 

🧠 What Is Site Data & Cookies (in Simple Terms)?

When you visit a website, it remembers things about you to make your experience better and faster next time. This information is called "site data", and it includes things like:

  • 🍪 Cookies – Small pieces of data that remember who you are (like login info or what’s in your shopping cart).

  • 💾 Cache – A memory of parts of the website (like images or layout) to help it load faster next time.

  • 🗂️ Local storage – Other saved settings or data the website uses behind the scenes.

It’s like when a coffee shop remembers your name and usual order to save time. That’s great — until they get it wrong or save old info.

🧹 Why You Might Need to Clear Site Data & Cookies

Sometimes these saved bits of information go bad, such as:

  • The website isn’t loading right

  • You're seeing old content

  • You're stuck logged out or in a weird loop

  • A form keeps giving errors

  • You switched accounts or settings and it's acting up

Clearing site data is like saying:

"Forget what you know about me and let's start fresh."

You’re not breaking anything — you’re just resetting your experience with that website.

✅ When Should You Do It?

  • A website is acting weird or broken

  • You’re switching users or logging into a different account

  • You’re troubleshooting issues (as instructed by tech support)

  • You want to remove tracking or stored preferences
