The WebBrowser control is like an Interface of IE. If you want to clear Cache/Cookies in a meaningful way then you'll have to call the IE APIs for that. Otherwise you could use another User Control like Selenium which could give better results.

You can also refer to: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/71a5b2bb-f254-45b3-94a0-d194e335211c/how-to-clear-webbrowser-control-cookie-in-c?forum=winforms

and as @pmcilreavy suggested: How to delete Cookies from windows.form?

did you try calling the corresponding IE API for deleting the cache/cookies? – shawkyz1 Dec 31 '17 at 22:07
