Using Local Version 9.2.2+6771 on Mac, and thought I’d try out Instant Reload, which does work when adding styling, but if I remove styling the browser doesn’t remove.

Add a line of styling in .css file, save, and new styling appears in browser.
Remove a line of styling in .css file, save, and that styling is never removed.
I can continue like this adding new styling, but anything deleted always remains like ghosts until I manually refresh Chrome.

We have a few troubleshooting steps from our Instant Reload help doc. Would any of these be applicable in your situation?
- Ensure that you are editing a CSS file within either the
pluginsor thethemesfolder of the site. - Make sure the styles are specific enough. Using the browser’s developer tools, inspect the styles for the element you are working on and ensure the style that’s being written is specific enough.
- Disable any caching plugins on the Local site.
Even if you don’t use any caching plugins it’s possible you have a plugin or builder that’s storing cache/CSS like Elementor, Divi, etc. The Flywheel guide to clearing your theme/plugin cache
Solved – CSS file still had remnants of SASS setup, which may have been as simple as partial imports not being explicitly defined:
@import “variables”
vs
@import “_variables.css”
