To clean the npm cache on your system, you should run the npm cache clean
command. This will purge any cached packages and modules from the local npm cache folder.
Clearing out the cache can help resolve certain npm errors or inconsistencies, and also frees up disk space by removing redundant packages that have accumulated over time.
For a step-by-step guide on how to use the npm cache clean
command, I recommend checking out this handy tutorial: npm clear cache.
It covers the full syntax and provides useful examples of cleaning the npm cache. The tutorial also explains some best practices around when you may want to clear the local cache.
Let me know if running npm cache clean
helps resolve the issue you are running into. That TeachingBee article should give you a good overview of how to leverage the command.
Thank me later or not at all. Either way it's all good:
npm start -- --reset-cache
Worked like a charm! Thanks man.
Works perfectly
My $TMPDIR ended in /, and current versions of NPM prevent npm cache clean with an error message, so I changed the TMPDIR strings and added --force to
npm cache-clean
, becoming:watchman watch-del-all && rm -rf "${TMPDIR}react-native-packager-cache-*" && rm -rf "${TMPDIR}metro-bundler-cache-*" && rm -rf node_modules/ && npm cache clean --force && npm install && npm start -- --reset-cache --force
The error from NPM suggesting an alternative to
npm cache clean --force
