Prefect Community

I just come into a strange problem. I used to run `rm -rf ~/.prefect/storage/*` to clear cache so that the task would run again next time.
But I find it won't work this time and I have to clean the whole `~/.prefect` directory instead of just storage to make it work.
Is this a bug or I just miss something? Does prefect provide some command line interface to clear cache?

And now I found that `~/.prefect/storage` won't be recreated and now cache seems not work anymore.

I’m asking my team. Will get back to you on this

Starting from 2.6 you can now use either a custom storage block for results or entirely disable persistence <https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/results/>.

This mean that you can choose to save your result in a custom storage or save it in memory

Thank you. But the problem I have now is after I remove everything in `~/.prefect` and the cache cannot be created any more.

Hmm that shouldn’t happen. Can you run

```prefect config view```
 and paste the output here?

prefect config view
PREFECT_PROFILE='default'

and the version of perfect is 2.6.4 by the way

What did you do to test whether the cache is created?
