How to clear cache in Qlik Sense desktop?

I've been debugging a button extension issue for a button that does not work on only a few user's local machines. Over the past couple of days, I've narrowed the problem to the user's cache. With that, the bug is easily replicable.

Clearing the cache and loading the Qlik app in Google Chrome at localhost:4848/hub, the app's buttons will work. However, the app will continue to not work in the Qlik Sense desktop application itself. Because Qlik Sense is a skin over Chromium, I figured a simple reset of its cache will fix the bug for the few users that are experiencing this. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find a solution specifically for Qlik Sense via both Google and the Qlik Community Forums.

Thank y'all!

Since Chrome is involved then the default shortcuts will work. The shortcut below will reload the page ignoring the cache

Chrome shortcut

This is from Google's support page (Web page shortcut section)

If you want to be more "brutal" :) you can manually delete the content you don't want through the Chrome Dev tools:

  • on the page, in QS Desktop, with the dashboard press Ctrl + Shift + Mouse right click
  • this should bring the context menu
  • select Show DevTools
  • navigate to Resources tab
  • expand Session Storage
  • you should see only one item http://localhost:4848. Click it
  • on the right side you will see all entries in Key <-> Value format (probably you have only one)
  • right-click on it and press Delete
  • refresh the page (F5)
