is there a way to clear cache and cookies using javascript?

Question

is there a way to clear cache and cookies using javascript? I am using selenium to run tests in microsoft edge and the tests run in the same session as the previous run (not a new session). Need to figure out how to run on a clean session each time. Right now, there does not seem to be any support in selenium for this.

You can't clear httpOnly cookies from inside browser....they are protected Question depends on how you set cookies — charlietfl, Oct 04 '16 at 01:17

To clear one cookie use this, to clear all cookies use this. You can't clear cache but you can append a version number like its mentioned on this

For Chrome and Firefox, I always used Watir's browser.cookies.clear http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/watir-webdriver/Watir/Cookies

However, I noticed that this did not work on Edge for some reason. So I'm waiting for an answer on this topic (might help you as well) https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/issues/14838528/
