Hi, does anyone know how I can clear the browser cache on Linux devices? The browsers on Linux devices are facing some performance issues, and I’ve heard that clearing the cache in the browsers would be a good idea. I’m a bit of a newbie here, so if anyone can offer some wisdom, it’d be great!

@roosevelt , you’re right, clearing a browser’s cache is an effective way to improve its overall performance. You can clear the browser’s cache from the browser itself. In the Firefox browser, go to Settings > Privacy and Security and then go to the Cookies and Site Data section. Here, click on Clear data. This will delete the browser cache for Firefox. In Chrome browsers, click on the three-dotted button in the top-right corner of the browser. Then, click Delete browsing data. Then, click Delete Data.

Thanks @_janet . This is really helpful. I was also thinking about deploying a script through Hexnode MDM to clear the browser cache. Is this feasible in Linux devices?

Yes @roosevelt , you can use scripts as well to delete the browser cache. Here is the bash script for deleting the browser cache for Firefox and Chrome browsers,
rm -rf ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/.default/
rm -rf ~/.cache/google-chrome/*
You can paste these scripts into a text file and save it with the .sh extension. This file can be deployed from your MDM into your devices.

Does Hexnode support deploying scripts remotely for Linux devices?

Yep, for Linux devices, Hexnode’s got the Execute custom script action through which you can upload your script and deploy it on your Linux devices remotely.
