 * Hello. I have made some recent changes via CSS, and I have cleared the cache,
   tried disabling the plugin, and cleared all my local caches, but the old files
   still seem to be loading in a CSS file.
 * The cached version is:
 * [http://searchbuzz.co/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/_inc/css/A.default.css,qver=1.6.4.pagespeed.cf.blHmI7G2fg.css](http://searchbuzz.co/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/_inc/css/A.default.css,qver=1.6.4.pagespeed.cf.blHmI7G2fg.css)
 * and the original new is:
 * [http://searchbuzz.co/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/_inc/css/default.css](http://searchbuzz.co/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/_inc/css/default.css)
 * How do I ensure it is showing the new version? I deleted the files it is showing
   from the server 3 days ago yet it is still able to show them

 * Added notes:
 * For example the gradient in the header has been stored at this link:
 * [http://searchbuzz.co/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/xgradient-header1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.-lI4_XLJ_W.jpg](http://searchbuzz.co/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/xgradient-header1.jpg.pagespeed.ic.-lI4_XLJ_W.jpg)
 * That’s why its still loading, even when it doesn’t exist on the server.
    Original
   link gives a 404:

 * Hi searchbuzz, “delete cache” deletes only cached files. If you changed something
   in style files, you need to use “Delete Css&Js Cache” tool.

 * The minified settings? I of course cleared those too.

 * I even cleared that, then removed the plugin, disabled the setting to minify 
   the CSS and JS and those files were still there.

 * the folder names don’t changes. They are generated with md5(). but the files 
   in the folder changes. they are generated with time().
 * Minified css files are generated if there is no such files.
 * Can you look at the creation time after clearing the minified files?

 * I wasn’t sure where to check the creation time, however I left the plugin off
   for 12 hours, made some more CSS changes and although the css files that include‘
   pagespeed’ and the extra characters in the URL are still there, it appeared to
   load the new version at last.
 * I just tried it on my work computer too and its also loading there. It seems 
   to just be some kind of delay with those files generated, even if I remove them
   from FTP, clear them in the settings etc, the files simply remain.
