Magento 2: cache clean vs cache flush
I work at LeSite as Technology Director, where I’m responsible for lead the technical team to building innovative products.
My passion for building software and sharing knowledge brought me to speak in over 14 conferences and create 21 projects used for more than 20,000 developers in the world. Now, I’m focused on helping merchants bringing innovation and technology strategy to their e-commerce ecosystem using the Magento 2, Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus and other platforms.
During the development we constantly use the Magento feature to clean or flush the cache, but do you know the difference? Check out this difference based on DevDoc.
php bin/magento cache:clean
Cleaning a cache type deletes all items from enabled Magento cache types only. In other words, this option does not affect other processes or applications because it cleans only the cache that Magento uses.
Disabled cache types are not cleaned.
php bin/magento cache:flush
Flushing a cache type purges the cache storage, which might affect other processes applications that are using the same storage.
Reference: DevDocs Manage the cache
