2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Caching > Purge Cache.

3. On the Purge Cache tab, configure the refresh rules.

   • Input Method: Supports two methods: Manual Input and Upload File.

     Refresh Input Method	Description

4. Click Submit.

5. View the purge progress.

   • After submitting the purge task, you can view detailed records and progress of resource purging on the Purge Records tab. The purge task is complete when the progress reaches 100%. The progress varies with the number of objects that you want to purge. The purge task may require some time to complete.

   • If you purge the cache by Upload File, you can view the file execution status on the File Upload Records tab. When the execution status is successful, it indicates that the file has been uploaded successfully and the purge task has started.
