CSS file stuck even after redownload, delete and reupload

Gogito

So, I'm using the Bootstrap theme cosmo. I made change to the cosmo css file. Now I want to revert back to normal so I just need to download the theme again and replace the cosmo css file with the original one right ? But it doesn't work. I just don't get it, I've uploaded the new file many times, I even redownloaded twice but somehow it's still retaining all of my modification. Cleared cache, incognito mode, even delteting the inin files in cache folder. What could be the problem ?

Interestingly, all the other css files of bootstrap are behaving just like that.

I just tried to reinstall the whole theme and it's still like that

Certainly seems like a cache issue.

Have you tried it on different browsers?

Perhaps try installing the CSSEdit plugin, and making a single change, to see if that takes?

If i delete the file then it will revert to the default boostrap so i think its not being server with a cached file. I tried incognito mode and clear all history already. Gonna try that csseditplugin

I recall you had this issue months ago and were told to use a browser extension for chrome called reload css. Also similar extensions for firefox. This will reload a fresh one so you can see your changes right away.

You can also use this

You can also change the refresh time in the cache of your server. Ask your host how to do that...
