vSphere Web Client Error #1009, Click yes to reload

Recently My client have been having some issues with the vSphere web client plugins, they were getting #1009 error often

Initially i googled and try to find the solution and root cause, many blogs are suggesting disable the installed plugins and try again.

Later i read somewhere ( forget the link) , clearing cache would help

This issue is because of the cached objects and it happened when you are navigating through the inventory in the vSphere 6.0, usually this error message pops up, you have to refresh your full web page

Error 1009, click yes to reload the vSphere web client
