How to clear browser cookies and cache in code[Code required]

Question

Need code to clear browser cookies and cache during page load.

Sam Hobbs · Answer

I think there is a Windows API or IE API to do it but I forget what it is. I will try to remember to look for it, but you can look for it. Just go to the MSDN and look in the IE stuff. If however you must get someone else to write the code for you then I don't have time for that. Note that if a program cleared all cookies without first asking permission, I would be very disappointed with it. If a program required me to clear all cookies, I would not use it.
