aspire cache clear command

Name

aspire cache clear - Clear all cache entries.

Synopsis

aspire cache clear [options]

Description

The aspire cache clear command removes all cached data stored by the Aspire CLI. This includes downloaded templates, NuGet package metadata, and other temporary files used to improve CLI performance.

Clearing the cache forces the CLI to re-download templates and refresh package information on the next operation, which can help resolve issues related to stale or corrupted cache data.

Options

The following options are available:

- - - - Examples
Clear all cached data:
```
aspire cache clear
```

What gets cleared

The aspire cache clear command removes:

Downloaded project templates
NuGet package metadata and search results
Integration package information
Temporary build artifacts
Other CLI operation caches

Note

This command does not remove: - The Aspire CLI installation itself - Configuration settings (those are managed by aspire config) - Your Aspire projects or their dependencies

Performance impact

After clearing the cache:

The first aspire new command may take longer as templates are re-downloaded
The first aspire add command may be slower as package information is refreshed
Subsequent operations will benefit from the rebuilt cache
