Any change I make to a cold fusion file is ignored

I made some changes to an cf file but they are ignored in all my browsers. I have even deleted the file from the path and that is ignored in any browser and it still shows the original file. I have tried this on 2 different cold fusion servers 9 and 10 with the same results.

    I can think of 2 reasons:

    1) Wrong path: The path of the file you are editing is different from the path corresponding to the URL that you are opening in the browser. Verify this. Temporarily rename the file, and see what happens when you open the URL in a browser.

    2) Caching: What the browser keeps opening might be a cached version of the page. Launch the ColdFusion Administrator and navigate to Server Settings => Caching. Make sure the option, Save class files, is unchecked. Press the button to Submit Changes

    Number 2 solved it. It was a caching problem that I was able to clear using CF administrator.   Thank You
