Note: The cache folder location (eg. u0p8r5n2.default) is randomly generated and different from system to system.
Navigate to both "Cache" and "OfflineCache" folders to wipe by running the "sudo srm -rllv *" command.
There are other traces of your surfing history (eg. search keywords, files downloaded, URLs entered) stored by your browser. To wipe these, navigate to your cache folder and securely delete all files with the extension .sqlite.
