caching - Chrome WON'T clear cache... ctrl + F5 doesn't seem to work either

Question

I'm working on a web project but I have this really annoying issue with my browser, Google Chrome... Every time I make changes on my website, my browser won't refresh and clear the cache. It works totally fine in my friend's Chrome browser, but not for me apparently.

As mentioned ctrl + F5 does not work for me. I tried to press F12 (for developer console) and right-click on the refresh icon, and then click "Empty Cache and Hard Reload". Still doesn't work... Actually not true, it worked once - but now it stays the same again... I tried reinstalling chrome too, still didn't work... I tried to clear my whole history including all passwords, cache and so on - but nothing has fixed the issue.

Edited on 02-05-2020: Some of your answers worked for me, but some time ago I found a Chrome extension that works really well for me and I wanted to share with the community. It is called "Clear Cache" and you can find it here:

Answer 1

I have had a similar problem. What I find is that I need to open up the Chrome developer tools and then hit Ctrl + F5. Only then is the cache refreshed.

Update

Also, I would recommend that you select "Disable Cache" in the developers tools ("Network" tab).
