By default, your web browser stores cookies and other information about sites you visit. Clearing your browser cache is often the easiest way to fix connection issues with library databases.
To clear your cache in Microsoft Edge (2020 release and later):
- Navigate to the three dots in the upper right of the screen.
- Choose History.
- In the top of the History pane, click the three dots.
- Choose Clear Browsing Data.
- If you are having trouble with library databases we recommend the Time range of All Time.
- Check the options for Browsing history, Cookies and site data, and Cached images and files.
- Click Clear now.
- Close and reopen Edge.
Set Edge to automatically clear some cache items when it closes
