How to do I delete Nx distributed cache

Question

My project is having an issue in our build systems where a command has been written to the cloud cache NOT IN NODE_MODULES incorrectly and is poisoning all subsequent runs. How do I clear the distributed cache?

The only thing I can think of is running with the --skip-nx-cache option, but if I don't run with the flag I get the same error again because the cache is still bad.

Answer 1

i can not see an option to clear the distributed cache in their ui in free plan.

One can try this from the docs

passing --no-cloud will tell Nx not to use the remote cache from Nx Cloud

and/or in nx.json in "build" section

"cache": false

however, i did the "hard" way:

• delete local nx cache
• delete the workspace in cloud.nx.app
• reinit local nx workspace with 'npx nx connect'
