Effacer le cache du navigateur.

Notez que cette fonction puisse prendre un objet  {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.RemovalOptions")}}, elle sera ignorée. Le cache entier est toujours effacé lors de l'utilisation de cette fonction.

C'est une fonction asynchrone qui renvoie une [`Promise`](/fr/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Objets_globaux/Promise).

## Syntaxe

```js
var removing = browser.browsingData.removeCache(
  removalOptions            // RemovalOptions object
)
```

### Paramètres

- `removalOptions `{{optional_inline}}
  - : `object`. Un objet {{WebExtAPIRef("browsingData.RemovalOptions")}}. Ce paramètre n'a aucun effet

### Valeur retournée

Une [`Promise`](/fr/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Objets_globaux/Promise) qui sera rempli sans arguments lorsque la suppression est terminée. Si une erreur se produit, la promesse sera rejetée avec un message d'erreur.

## Compatibilité du navigateur
