Sometimes a developer or 4D administrator may want to delete the client cache folder, which can be a good troubleshooting step for various issues. One hidden gem for completing this task is to use a 4DLink file with the clear_cache_folder attribute set to true. Here is an example 4DLink file with the clear_cache_folder attribute set:

clear_cache_folder = "true"

Here is a 4DLink example using the clear_cache_folder attribute:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><database_shortcut is_remote="true" user_name="Designer" server_database_name="monitoring" server_path="127.0.0.1" clear_cache_folder="true"/>

The 4DLink file, when opened by 4D, will clear the cache folder and re-download all resources.
