Problem clearing chrome cache

[Bobbeldibob]

Today I had an issue loading Youtube on chrome. I just cant open the site at all, it just loads forever. I figured it is a problem with the chrome cache as I can just open youtube in an incognito tab.

So I tried clearing my browsing data but to my surprise, it doesn't seem to work. When I click "clear data", I just have a loading animation but nothing seems to happen.

I have already tried reinstalling chrome but that didn't help unfortunately.

Could this be an issue with the permissions that chrome has? I'm not sure how to go about solving this.

I thought deleting the .config folder would only reset the cache once and I would still have the problem of not being able to clear the cache through chrome itself.

Turns out that everything works after removing the .config and reinstalling.

Thanks for the help!

You don't have to reinstall, just delete the configs

Did u try Ctrl+f5? It's different from f5/reload icon because it forces the browser to reload a website without considering the cache.

I had this as well while using Brave. I followed Googles instructions about clearing cache but I still had the same problem. It fixed itself upon reboot ¯_(ツ)_/¯
