How To Clear The Concrete5 Cache (temporary buffered data)

Often after you make changes to the structure of C5, or pages, you may need to clear the C5 cache and your Internet Browser's cache in order for changes to display upon reload/refresh of the website page.  This article only covers the Clearing of your C5 cache.  Real quick, on newer versions of Firefox, to clear the Internet cache, you go to the top menu selection of History>>Clear Recent History>>Select both Cache and Offline Website Data. 

Please note that I do not get paid to do these articles.
