Remove Client Cache

A pre-existing, already registered Client Cache can be simply removed from the cluster it is a part of either through the NCache Management Center or using the Remove-ClientCache PowerShell cmdlet, both methods ensure the client cache is cleanly unregistered without affecting the main cluster. Removing a Client Cache clears local configuration metadata and prevents the client from using local synchronization, defaulting back to the clustered cache.

How to remove Client Cache 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 Clustered Caches based on the cache which contains the Client Caches. Against the cache name, click on View Details.

How to remove Client Cache using Command Line Tools

The Remove ClientCache tool enables the user to remove an already existing Client Cache from the client node. This PowerShell cmdlet removes Client Cache named demoClientCache from a clustered cache named demoCache and client node 20.200.20.38.

Remove-ClientCache -CacheName demoCache -ClientCacheName demoClientCache -ClientNode 20.200.20.38
