Python/Selenium - Clear the cache and cookies in my chrome webdriver?


I'm trying to clear the cache and cookies in my chrome browser (webdriver from selenium) but I can't find any solutions for specifically the chrome driver. How do I clear the cache and cookies in Python? Thanks!


Solution

  • Taken from this post:

    For cookies, you can use the delete_all_cookies function:

    driver.delete_all_cookies()
    

    For cache, there isn't a direct way to do this through Selenium. If you are trying to make sure everything is cleared at the beginning of starting a Chrome driver, or when you are done, then you don't need to do anything. Every time you initialize a webdriver, it is a brand new instance with no cache, cookies, or history. Every time you terminate the driver, all these are cleared.
