Once every few weeks or when Bing looks outdated.

Will clearing cache delete my bookmarks?

No. Cache removal only deletes temporary files, not saved bookmarks.

Only if you also select cookies. Cache alone does not affect login.

Why is Bing showing old results?

Because your browser stored cached pages. Clearing fixes this.
