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.

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

Copy code

prefect config view

and paste the output here?

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