How to delete cache in Cordova

Cordova is a popular framework used by developers to create mobile applications. In some cases, these applications may experience issues due to cached data. To resolve such issues, developers can delete the cache in Cordova.

Option 1: Clear Cache Programmatically

The first option to delete cache in Cordova is to clear it programmatically with the following code:

 function clearCache() {
     window.cache.clear(
         function success() {
             console.log("Cache cleared successfully");
         },
         function error() {
             console.log("Error while clearing cache");
         }
     );
 }

This code will delete all cached data of your application.

Option 2: Clear Cache Manually

The second option is to clear cache manually by following these steps:

1. Go to Settings on your mobile device
2. Select the Applications or Apps option
3. Find your application and select it
4. Tap on the Storage or Storage Usage option
5. Tap on the Clear Cache button

This will clear the cache for your application on your mobile device.

Option 3: Use Cordova Plugin

Another option is to use a Cordova plugin to delete cache. One such plugin is cordova-plugin-cache. To use this plugin, follow these steps:

1. Add the cordova-plugin-cache plugin to your project using the following command:

 cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-cache

1. Use the following code to clear the cache:

 window.cache.clearCache(
     function success(status) {
         console.log("Cache cleared successfully");
     },
     function error(status) {
         console.log("Error while clearing cache");
     }
 );

This code will delete all cached data of your application.
