Version 12.x and Later

The Delete Messages command in Solace Cache allows you to remove cached topic data either across an entire Cache Cluster or from a specific Cache Instance.
Using this option helps clear outdated, incorrect, or unnecessary cached entries and ensures clean cache behavior for applications.

• At the Cache Cluster level, all Cache Instances in the cluster delete messages for the selected topic.

• At the Cache Instance level, only that individual instance deletes its locally stored cached messages.

Delete Messages

To delete cached messages:

1. In the Cache Cluster or Cache Instance widget, select the object for which you want to delete cached messages.

2. From the Selected menu, choose Commands > Delete Messages.
   

3. In the Delete Messages dialog, select one of the following options:

   • Delete All Messages to remove all cached messages.

   • Delete Messages By Topic and enter the topic to delete only matching cached messages.
     
     
      

4. Click Confirm to delete the messages immediately, or Schedule to delete them later.

5. The Confirm Message Delete Action dialog opens, indicating that cached messages will be deleted from the selected Cache Instance or Cache Cluster.
   
   

6. Click Yes to delete the messages immediately, Schedule to perform the action later. (See Scheduling Jobs for more information.)

A success message appears at the bottom of the window when the deletion completes.
