Safari cache

[davidwil]

Why is there no clear cache option in the Safari Settings on my iPad 2?



I have attached (I hope) a screen capture of the problem.

Leelai is right. Clear cookies and cached data goes too.

I have cleared these in Safari settings. I expected this to clear the drop down list in the URL field in Safari.
But typing eg 'w' shows a list of sites I have visited starting with this - see attached
Was I wrong to expect this to be cleared?




Thanks

Go to your Bookmarks bar in Safari - History and clear this.

That should do the trick, but let us know.

In Safari I have now cleared what I understand you to mean by the bookmarks bar -see attached.
Trying eg 'w' in the URL field still produces the same list of sites I have visited.

That looks like the bookmarks bar. You want to clear history. Clearing history from the Safari settings should have done the same thing.

[davidwil]

It already had done!

That's it then. There is nothing else to clear. The remaining sites are in a buffer that you can not erase. They will eventually drop out as new sites are added. Mail does the same thing with email addresses.

Thanks for the clarification.
