How To Empty Your Cache

[Esparno]

Now many people here tell you to empty your cache. When I first heard that I had no idea how to do so. I tried empting cookies, but to no avail. I finally figured out how to do this through trial and error, heres how to do it without wasting time looking for a solution like I did.

::Note, this only works for Internet Explorer, I dont know how to in other Progs like Opera or NN::

1.Open Up Internet Explorer
2.Click on Tools
3.Click on Internet Options
4.Under "Temporary Internet Files" click the 'Delete Files' button
5.Restart Internet Explorer
6.Dont waste any more time and play FFR!

c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\Temporary internet files

this way u can be selective about what is deleted and dont need to lose information about every site u visit, lotsmore efficient

(note: local settings is a hidden folder)

[MEGAginge]

if you select 'automatically' after the option of when u want internet explorer to look for new versions of files however, it will be done for u, ur cache never needing to b cleared to enjoy the most recent version, this is because internet explorer readss the file size of the main engine swf, and if its the same - it knows u have the most recent version and vice versa. It works on any site and saves hours of redownloading...

Tweak UI, a Windows tweaking program available on Microsoft's site, has a "Paranoia" tab. Many settings within it allow you to delete all temporary files and cover you tracks.

Link Pending...

edit: Now where in the hell did it go...

Instructions for Opera

1. go to file menu
2. Click "delete private data..."
3. check all the apropriate checkboxes (ex. if you like having a site auto-log you in, keep your cookies)
4. Click OK, and all of Opera's windows will close and your cache will be cleared.

[dAnceguy117]

Anyone know how to clear it for somthing like msn or aol?

[dave]

this is old :wink:

[darrel]

I've already tried both those methods, but neither seems to work
The songs still arent showing up...and no I dont have any programs like Opera or anything
Any help?

[MinionStarwind]

for aol temp file deletion

head to preferences...
click "Internet properties (www)"
it should say somewhere that you can delete files and cookies

there ya go... :twisted:

[hypn0tyze]

no matter what i do nothing works...cleared cache, updated flash player, deleted the temp files manually, nothing. I still get the black screen saying its out of date...why?

[IL_PARATZO]

Yeah, same here.... nothing seems to work. It would be a lot easier if the version check just.... wasn't there. But then again, there's probably a good reason it's there in the first place, so what do i know? Anyways... suggestions? Anyone?

[SotN]

Try this:

Tools> Internet Options> Temporary Internet Files> Settings > Check for Newer Versions of Stored Pages > Every Time You Visit That Page

Then clear your cache. that should fix it.

[Moogy]

Mozilla/Netscape 7 :
Go to Edit -> Preferences.
Then go to Advanced -> Cache and click the large "Clear Cache" button.

Of course, if you use Mozilla, you should probably already know how to do this...

[ramza777]

Same thing happens to me, I tried everyrhing and it still does not work :(

[lazkid]

still not working.... emptied cache multiple ways, set it to check for updated version.... still getting the old one.....

[Mandragora]

Will this help remedy the problem of every song being off beat?

[Atreides888]

c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\Temporary internet files

(note: local settings is a hidden folder)

how do you view hidden folders again?

[Kent]

Emptying the cache doesn't work... Any more ideas?

[alainbryden]

This is what you do. Right click your menu bar, next to START. Go to Properties...Advanced...and click CLEAR. Then, go to START, Programs...Acessories...System Tools...DISC CLEANUP. Run it. Finally, open up "My Computer" in the address bar type %temp% . It will switch to a folder. Delete everything in that folder. You're done.

[Moogy]

I approve of this topic.

[Geriko_Battousai]

Will removing the Cache unable you to workoffline?

[Dark_Mind]

No. When you work offline ie explore loads info from the cache and not the internet.

[dancedance95]

yea.. no matter what i do, it still wont let me play!!! :(

[180digi]

Having major issues with this. Any of the suggestions on this thread are for another browser or out of date, i cant use the aol way because i have 9.0 and there is no preferences menu..so basically i reverted to using internet explorer for ffr..the faq was useless, i say they need to give this site a freakin help menu

[Esparno]

Holy crap this thread is old. I had completely forgotten about this website till I searched up my name on google and found this. Wow, I need to get my skills back in shape.

[mario14marth]

Yup, so far, nothing works...man...
I think I deleted half of the things on my computer and still no.
This is the most interesting problem, seriously, it's so odd how the page does not update.

[Naku-Chan]

I can never get the downloads for work for me, no matter how much I clear the cache.
But I found that if I download them in flashget(or maybe other DL managers, but flashget's the only one I've tried) they work.

[nightslayer]

hmm... i remember two years ago i had that same problem... and i fixed it somehow... i just completely forgot how...O_o... couple years old and still a noob...

[nightslayer]

whoa... hold on... im joined in 2001... why does it say 2004... :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Tasselfoot]

1. no one has a joined date before Nov 2002... 2. your joined date is the 1st time you came to the forums.

[Exxcelluvr16]

[SebyD]

i've had the same problem for about 2 weeks now!!!i'm getting really sick of it 'cause all i can play is R2 and i WAY prefer ffr...

[Exxcelluvr16]

Does anyone have any other REAL ideas that WORK frr people you NEED to look into this I have not been able to play this game for 3 weeks now and horseland.com is down so I have nothing to play and I am sick of clearing my cache a hundred times and redownloaded it the same amount of times as the cache NOTHING WORKS HELP US!!! PLEASE!!! I'M BORED!!!!

[SB_Vault]

how do you do it for internet explorer 8.0? (one where you can add tabs on a single page and explore other pages with one tab by the start thing)

[Tasselfoot]

i'm sure it is very very similar... mess around within Tools, Options... or something called similar to that. It is always very straight forward.

[RB_Sasuke]

i got the same internet thing, i think you hit delete for history, but that deletes cookies, saved passwords, files, and web form info.

[shazam_2011]

Newest version of Firefox?

EDIT

Never mind, Tools> Clear Private Data> Tick Cache

[slagar]

its not working!

[tauri_557]

Okay, I found my Temporary Internet files. What do I delete? All of it or just one thing? If deleting one thing is the case, what one thing?

[XxxBLUNTMANxxX]

the songs still won't work just wait untill someone fixes it, in the mean time play OTHER songs

[tauri_557]

My problem is, my total score and my credits don't update.. They are still the same. Also, My total games played, still hasn't updated. I've played 13 games for the last 2 weeks! I've definetly played more.

[AirForceBlue]

how do you view hidden folders again?

Now I know this is old, but in case anyone was wondering:

-Open any folder. My Documents will do.
-Tools > Folder Options > View
-There should be a list with a section called Hidden files and folders.
-Check Show hidden files and folders

To clear your cache with Firefox:
-You can simply press Ctrl+Shift+Del, and check what you would like to delete

Okay, I found my Temporary Internet files. What do I delete? All of it or just one thing? If deleting one thing is the case, what one thing?

You'll want to delete anything that has Flashflashrevolution.com in its name for sure.

[Boatz]

There is a VERY good program on cnet that can be used to clear up your useless junk on your PC, it's very fast and clears up any useless setup files on your C: drive as well.

http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000-2144_4-10669303.html?tag=lst-0-1

The only problem is that you might have to tweak it otherwise it may wipe out all of your saved passwords if you have any.

[Krasus]

I've tried all of these and it still doesn't work! None of the songs will load at all!

[Xx DarkLink xX]

Wondering about a problem with the songs loading. Some songs stop at __%
and other songs finish loading entirely.

Could anyone help with this?

[musical_vampire]

ok I tried the emptying out thing and it didn't work :(

[musical_vampire]

I emptied out my files and my cookies and pro chat STILL won't come up

[-zeroSKILL-]

Ummm, yeah, I've cleared my cache... Wiped out everything to try and get the 847k version back that was out a day or two ago. I keep getting the 1437k version again =.=

More 'water weight'? Or are you testing something new this time?

[musical_vampire]

gah, pro chat isn't working for me still. T _ T
I've pmed like 5 admins and still no answer. Almost a week of no pro chat. :(

[StepmaniaGod6969]

why do people bump friggin 6 year old threads??

[-zeroSKILL-]

Why do people post things that mean absolutely nothing to anyone?

owait, that's right... postwhoring.

Pssh, 'sif you even give two sh*ts who posts in here. And it's impossible to 'bump' it, since it's a Sticky -__-.

I had a legitimate complaint/query, and I'd like an answer.

You, however, are just postwhoring.

Musical Vampire is in the wrong thread.
