Bing itself doesn't have a cache you can clear; your browser does. To fix Bing without touching other sites, clear the cookies and site data for bing.com only. To clear everything, use your browser's Clear browsing data window (Ctrl+Shift+Delete) and tick Cached images and files.
When clearing the cache helps
- Bing's homepage or results look broken or don't load fully.
- Settings (SafeSearch, language, region) won't save.
- You're stuck signed in or out.
- You want to wipe the signed-out search history saved on this browser.
Clearing cache doesn't delete searches saved to your Microsoft account. For that, see how to delete Bing history.
Clear data for bing.com only
- Edge: go to
edge://settings/content/all(Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data > See all cookies and site data), search bing.com and delete it. - Chrome: on bing.com, click the icon to the left of the address, open Cookies and site data (or Site settings) and delete the stored data.
- Firefox: on bing.com, click the padlock > Clear cookies and site data.
- Safari (Mac): Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data, search bing, and remove it.
Clear the whole browser cache
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data > Choose what to clear > tick Cached images and files > Clear now.
- Chrome: ⋮ > Delete browsing data > tick Cached images and files > Delete data.
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
- Safari (iPhone): Settings > Apps > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
In the Microsoft Bing app
On Android: Settings > Apps > Microsoft Bing > Storage > Clear cache. On iPhone, there's no separate cache button; offloading or reinstalling the app clears it.
What you lose
Clearing cookies signs you out of sites and resets their settings. Cached files are simply downloaded again. Passwords you saved in the browser aren't affected unless you tick that option.
Frequently asked questions
Is clearing cache the same as deleting Bing history?
No. Cache is temporary files in your browser. Bing history is a record of your searches, saved to your account or a Bing cookie.
How often should I clear Bing cache?
Only when something isn't working. Browsers manage their cache automatically.
