 * I’ve investigated my .htaccess file and can previous code left from older plug
   in, W3TC Browser Cache. This older plug in has been deleted from cPanel.
 * I’m unable to delete its code!? Is there a better way to remove/clean W3TC Browser
   Cache from stopping Hummingbird cache my browser?

 * Hi Rick,
 * When it comes to Browser Caching this is actually something that the server handles
   and Hummingbird, as well as W3TC, apply the .htaccess rules to tell the server
   to apply those browser caching, but it’s still up to server settings to allow
   those .htaccess rules.
 * So basically, even those are leftover rules from W3TC they should be still working
   if the server is allowing it.
    You can check with your host if “expires” module
   is enabled on server and if they allow browser caching rules to be changed via.
   htaccess rules.
 * > I’m unable to delete its code!?
 * Can you tell me a bit more about this, are you unable to edit your .htaccess 
   file or something else is preventing you from deleting the code?
 * What you can also do is go to Hummingbird > Caching > Browser Caching panel and
   scroll down to “Setup” section, click on Manual tab and it will show you the 
   rules that need to be added to .htaccess.
    You can ask your host to replace W3TC
   rules in .htaccess with those and, if they allow .htaccess to change browser 
   caching, it should do the trick.
 * Let us know how it goes.
 * Cheers,
    Predrag
