To purge the cache of the resource:

API

In the management console, select the folder where your resource is located.
Select Cloud CDN.
Click the resource name.
Go to the Content tab.
In the top-right corner, click Purge cache.
Select the type of cache purging:
- Full: To purge the cache for all files.
- Selective: To purge the cache for selected files. Enter the names of the required files in the File path field.
Click Purge cache.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

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.
