How to clear ie cache.

[SeF 2]

$ClearID = "8"
Run("RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess " & $ClearID)

;You can delete/clear others things by changing $ClearID's value:
;History Only = 1
;Cookies Only = 2
;Temporary Internet Files Only = 8
;Form Data Only = 16
;Password History Only = 32
;Everything = 255

;Password History Only = 32

My IE6 can not use it.

This is valid for IE7 + . For chrome i would suggest to find the dir where it stores the files and delete manually with filedelete or dirremove functions.

$_CacheSize = Round ( DirGetSize ( $_CacheLoc & '\Cache' ) / 1024 /1024 )
Msgbox ( 0, 'Found', 'Cache Directory Size : ' & $_CacheSize & ' MB', 3 )

If $objFSO.FolderExists ( $_CacheLoc ) Then
