<p>Java - How do I clear my Java cache?</p><p><span id="bodyfont"> <link href="/FileManagement/Download/49ef53dba349404aa1d84f002207e0b8" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <div id="bodyfont"> <h1>Answer</h1> <h2>Summary</h2> <blockquote> <span style="font-size: 10pt;"> <p>Your Java cache is a temporary storage area where frequently accessed data can be stored for rapid access. Once the data is stored in the cache, future use can be made by accessing the cached copy rather than having to download the session content every time you enter, therefore lowering your connection time.<br /> </p> <p>Sometimes we have to ask you to remove this content so that we can confirm that what you have in storage is complete and current.</p> <p>Since the steps from version to version change, you will have to select the version of Java currently installed. You will then be provided with complete instructions for clearing your cache. Please note, if you are unsure which version of Java you have installed, you can click the "What version of Java do I have?" link above.</p> </span></blockquote> <h2>Solution</h2> <p>Role: <em>All Users</em><br /> Difficulty: <em>Moderate</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p>Select your Java version for detailed instructions on clearing the Java cache: <a target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" href="http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&task=knowledge&questionID=12"><em>(What version of Java do I have?) </em></a><br /> </p> <ul> <li><a target="_parent" href="http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&task=knowledge&questionID=2392">Instructions on how to clear java cache for Java 7</a></li> <li><a target="_parent" href="http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&task=knowledge&questionID=146">Instructions on how to clear java cache for Java 6</a></li> <li><a target="_parent" href="http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&task=knowledge&questionID=147">Instructions on how to clear java cache for Java 5 </a></li> </ul> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><span id="bodyfont"> </span></p> <p class="link_to_this">Link to this article: <a target="_blank" href="http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&task=knowledge&questionID=145">http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=8336&task=knowledge&questionID=145</a></p> </div> </span></p><h3>Alternate Questions/Keywords</h3><p>Instructions for clearing the Java cache in Mac OSX<br>Instructions for clearing the Java cache in Windows 7</p>
