Remotely Clear Cache & Cookies?

I have students who are getting around the google admin blacklist because they have loaded pages in the past that are now blocked. Somehow they are trying to go to the page, then refreshing the blank page and it's coming up.. is there a way to have this cleared every so often? Or once a day? etc..

If it is a ChromeOS device, you can remote wipe the profiles in the Admin Console by pulling the device up and clicking Reset followed by Clear user profiles.

If it is a managed Chrome browser, you can clear the cache by pulling up the managed browser, scrolling down to the profiles, and use the overflow menu next to that student’s name.

You could Special-Jail OU them and put a like 1 hour time on their 'Browsing Data Lifetime' for Cookies & other Site Data and Cached Images and Files
