How to clear the cache data in Electron(atom shell)?

问题

I want to clear cache data in Electron(atom-shell). I don't find any api like gui.App.clearCache()(node-webkit api to clear cache data) in Electron. If you find any api or any other way please let me know. comments are appreciated .

回答1:

The Electron stores it's cache in these folders:

Windows:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\<yourAppName>\Cache

Linux:
/home/<user>/.config/<yourAppName>/Cache

OS X:
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/<yourAppName>/Cache

So deleting these folders can also help you. Of course this is one time solution ;-)

回答2:

You can use session.clearCache api.

var remote = require('remote'); 
var win = remote.getCurrentWindow();
win.webContents.session.clearCache(function(){
//some callback.
});

回答3:

If you want to clear any remnants of previous login sessions, you'd better use this:

loginWindow.webContents.session.clearStorageData()

回答4:

We are using this in our app...

const { app, session } = require('electron');

// ...

session.defaultSession.clearStorageData(null, (error: any) => {
  // in our case we need to restart the application
  // app.relaunch();
  // app.exit();
});

Update for Electron 7:

await session.defaultSession.clearStorageData();

回答5:

Ans :

var remote = require('remote'); var win = remote.getCurrentWindow(); win.WebContents.session.cookies.get(details, callback) // getting cookies win.WebContents.session.cookies.remove(details, callback) //deleting cookies

回答6:

you could try mainWindow.webContents.clearHistory(); or deleting contents in the app Cache folders (will be recreated on app run). You can get the path with app.getPath('userData') + '/Cache'

回答7:

when you are developing, in developer tools go to the tab application and in clear storage and clear site data
