Clearing Temporary Files/Cache

Updated 11/11/2020

Pages you view on the internet (including CM/ECF screens and documents) are stored in temporary files for quick viewing.  If these temporary files are not deleted, they can create problems in CM/ECF.  Therefore, it is recommended that you regularly clear your internet browser cache and temporary files.
