Remove Cache

You can remove an already registered cache from your environment using the NCache Management Center or various command-line tools. This process allows you to either unregister the cache configuration from the server nodes or simply remove the cache from the management view. Following are the methods:

Method 1: Using the NCache Management Center

  • Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or <server-ip>:8251.

  • In the left navigation bar, click on Local Caches or Clustered Caches based on the cache to be removed. This opens up a new page. It shows any existing local or clustered caches and additional details like Server and Server Platform.

  • In the caches window, check the box against the cache name to remove, and click Remove.

Remove Cache from the NCache Management Center

  • You will be prompted to confirm if you want to unregister the cache as well. Clicking Yes will unregister the cache, clicking No will only remove the cache from the NCache Management Center view.
Important

Remove vs. Unregister: Clicking Yes performs a full unregistration, deleting the cache metadata from the server. Clicking No acts as a "view-only" removal, leaving the cache configuration intact on the server but hiding it from the NCache Management Center.

Method 2: Using Command Line Tools

The Remove Cache tool enables the user to remove an already registered cache and also remove cache(s) on a specified server.

  • The following command removes the cache demoCache from the local server.
Remove-Cache –Name demoCache
  • The following command removes the cache demoCache on the server node 20.200.20.40.
Remove-Cache –Name demoCache –Server 20.200.20.40
