If you want to only clear the application cache without clearing localstorage and indexeddb too (which is advisable if you're just debugging a javascript and have huge indexeddb datastores), I found that you can:

  1. clear the "normal" cache, so you don't risk having the browser picking resources from there after page reload, instead of downloading them from the server

  2. issue delete applicationCache in the console of the Development Tools

I'm guessing you figured this out, but you can clear cache in IE10 like so:

Tools-> Internet Options -> Settings (in Browsing history section) -> Caches and databases tab

You should see all sites that currently have caches and you can clear them from here as needed. This is what the window looks like:

I can't leave a comment, but I would like to point out that Browser Cache & Application Cache are 2 different things. Although, I can't seem to figure out how to clear appcache in IE even after looking at Microsoft's website.
