# editor-style.css changes ignored

 * I wrote a theme with some custom styles in an editor-style.css
    I use Classic
   editor with TinyMCE Advanced.
 * The custom styles show up like expected in the Formats menu in Tinymce.
 * But: I can not edit the editor-style.css! All changes are ignored, an old version
   used that no longer exists.
    Of course I have disabled browser cache. Also tried
   to disable WP caching:
 * define(‘WP_CACHE’, false); // disable the cache
    define(‘DISABLE_CACHE’, true);//
   disable the cache
 * Does not help. If I remove (or rename) the editor-style.css altogether, the Formats
   menu gets empty as expected. But if I then create an EMPTY editor-style.css, 
   the OLD version appears again – from where?
    It does not exist anymore!
 * There is no problem, BTW, with the CSS of the site itself. I can edit it, reload,
   and changes show up as expected.
 * How is this possible? What can I do?

 * I have run into almost that exact issue with a css file. In my case it was solved
   when I contacted my host and they did something but did not say what it was. 
   This is a long way to say, contact your host.
