Support Request: Chrome browser does not clear cache

Description

We are currently deploying SiteKiosk and the problem occurred that chromium fullscreen browser does not properly clear cache (after changes has been made by development team in web page it is showing) when it is requested as per SiteKiosk settings.
The question is - how do we force-clear cache of SiteKiosk fullscreen chromium browser? Is there any specific folder/file we should delete in file system to achieve that, or is there a way to open developer console during chromium session?

Hello,

Generally SiteKiosk deletes the temporary internet files and cookies when pressing the logout button in a configured skin or when the screen saver activates.

When using the Chome Fullscreen Browser skin there is no logout button and the temporary internet files and cookies will be deleted when the screen saver activates.
Still make sure enabling the options “Delete Temporary Internet Files” and “Delete Cookies” at “-->Logout” in the SiteKiosk configuration.
The idle time before activating the screen saver can be configured at “-->Screensaver”.

Furthermore you can “Clear cache when SiteKiosk is closed” and “Clear cache at midnight” with the settings at “-->Maintenance”.

For having a debug developer console with “Chrome Fullscreen Browser” just store an empty text file with the name “debug.txt” into the folder “…\SiteKiosk\Chromium”.
Then press F11 key after SiteKiosk is started.

Regards,
Michael Olbrich
