Purge the file cache using the cache purge argument:
```
yc cdn cache purge --resource-id <resource_ID> \
  --path <file_paths>
```
If you omit the --path flag with paths to files, the cache of all files will be purged.

For more information about the yc cdn cache purge command, see the CLI reference.

Use the purge REST API method for the Cache resource or the CacheService/Purge gRPC API call.

It may take up to 15 minutes to purge the cache.
