lip cache clean

Delete the cache.

Synopsis

text

lip cache clean [-h | --help]

Description

lip cache clean deletes the cache directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\lip\Cache on Windows, and $XDG_CACHE_HOME/lip elsewhere, which is ~/.cache/lip by default.

The cache holds only what lip downloaded and can download again. Workspaces, installed packages and the configuration are not affected. The Wine that lip installed is in the data directory, not in the cache, and stays.

A lip command that is writing to the cache at the same moment may fail. Run lip cache clean while no other lip command runs.

Options

Option	Description
`-h`, `--help`	Write the help and exit.

Output

lip cache clean has no result: it writes nothing to standard output. The final line is a message on standard error.

Exit status

Code	Meaning
`0`	The cache is deleted.
not `0`	A usage error, or the directory could not be deleted.

Examples

shell
