My drupal 6 is not able to @import css or serve the latest style sheet all of a sudden. This began happening after I added a link to a javascript that refreshes the pages onload. I have removed that faulty javascript but now drupal seems broken. It will only serve css from old cache. I have tried emptying drupal cache, disabled js and css caches , emptied browser caches but nothing is making a difference.
None of the @import statements in style.css is working.
Even when I use , the latest style sheet is not getting loaded. When I view source or inspect the elements, only old css from may weeks ago is getting loaded.
I validated the style sheets and html, there are no issues there...everything seems good.
When I force a refresh (Ctrl+F5) I can see the new style taking shape but otherwise drupal seems broken and is loading everything from old cache.
How do I empty this old cache when performance > clear cache data makes no difference. I have cache-browser module installed but I don't see the reference to the old cache that is getting loaded. What am I missing and how do I overcome this problem that is happening so suddenly? Any insight and recommendation from those who know more about this is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Did you trying clearing your
Did you trying clearing your browsers cache?
Cleaning browser's cache didn't make a difference
Yes, first I thought it was my browser that was misbehaving and emptied the cache with each css test but discovered that it was drupal loading old css and not processing @import.
Visit the performance
Visit the performance configuration page, there is a button to clear the css cache.
Cache at Performance is cleared
..but it makes no difference. I know this was problem got triggered after I tried out a javascript that refreshes the page onload. Now that it is remove the problems is not resolved.
Is there a way for me to safely flush out the cache table and rebuild it? Anyone know about this?
