How to clear Chromium Browser cache?

command-line xubuntu chrome

On Linux you can clear the browser cache using the following command, after closing the browser:

Chromium

The browser cache is stored in different directories depending on whether Chromium is installed as a regular package or as a snap. Run

$ which chromium

to find out which one your system is using. Examples:

/usr/bin/chromium   -> traditional package
/snap/bin/chromium  -> snap

rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium

rm -rf ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium

rm -rf ~/.cache/google-chrome

I want to get the count of active records by using a specific id , i tried using this code but i did not get proper output.
```
    public function package_category_listing()
{   

    $query = $this->db->get("mn_package_category");
    $data['records'] = $query->result();
    foreach($data['records'] as $r)
    {
    $c=$r->category_id;

    }
    $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM mn_package WHERE `category_id` = '.$c);
    $data['data']= $query->num_rows();
    $this->load->view('admin/package/package_category_listing',$data );
}
```

  do you have any idea what this line $c=$r->category_id; do inside foreach loop? it is overwriting $c every time.

  Is your ultimate goal to find the total records using each 'category_id'?

Hmm. On Ubuntu 20.04 installed from snap ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium did not exist on my system. So rm -rf ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache worked for me.
