We can use the following approach in ReactJS to delete multiple cache data in ReactJS. We can delete multiple cache data from the browser as per the user requirement. Caching is a technique that helps us to stores a copy of a given resource into our browser and serves it back when requested.

Approach: Follow these simple steps in order to delete specific cache data in ReactJS. We have created our deleteMultipleCache function which takes the cache names as an array and deletes it from the browser cache. When we click on the button, the function is triggered, and the given caches get deleted from the browser and, and we see an alert popup. 

In the following example, we have 5 caches stored in the browser named CacheOne, CacheTwo, CacheThree, CacheFour, and CacheFive as shown below, and we delete CacheOne and CacheFour using our defined function.
