  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and scroll down to find the Safari app.
  2. Click on it and scroll down to the “Privacy and Security”option. Right below it, you’ll find the “Clear history and website data”option.
  3. Click on it and click “Clear history and data”.

Thanks to this, you will be able to clear the entire cache and website from the Safari browser.
