Clear cache of a distribution

You clear your cache in the overview of your distribution(s).

A screenshot of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) distribution management interface. The main area is a table with columns for 'CDN Domain,' 'Origin URL,' and 'Status'. There are three active distributions listed. The mouse cursor is shown clicking the three-dot action menu for the last entry, which has a CDN Domain uniqueID.cdn.stackit.cloud and Origin URL name.abc.lidl.de. A dropdown menu is open, displaying two options: 'Clear cache' (with a broom icon) and 'Delete'. This image illustrates the step of accessing the cache-clearing action from a CDN distribution list.

You have to confirm that you want to clear the cache by clicking the “Clean cache” button

A screenshot showing the 'Last cache purge time' section of a CDN management interface. It displays the last date and time the cache was cleared: 12.05.2020 16:09:15. Below this information, there is a prominent button labeled 'Clear cache' with a broom icon, indicating the action to initiate a new cache purge.

A timestamp of your last clear cache action will be shown on your distribution detail page.

A screenshot of a confirmation dialog box for clearing the cache. The title of the dialog is 'Clear cache'. The body text displays a warning message: 'The cache is irrevocably deleted and cannot be restored.' At the bottom right, there are two action buttons: 'Cancel' (plain text) and a brightly highlighted, yellow button labeled 'Clean Cache', which is the confirmation button to proceed with the action.
