How can you control the tile cache?

@EricG97477

I am following the instructions at https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/ and can view loaded tile data with the sample_leaflet.html file. However, I have reset the gis database and it currently does not contain any tile data that I can see. Yet, when I reload sample_leaflet.html in the same or an previously unused browser, the azerbaijan tile data still appears.

Since I have tried using a browser that I had never touched the tile server before, I figure the data must be cached somewhere on server. However, I am not sure how to clear that cache and return things to an entirely clean state.

How can I do that?

Thank you.

It appears the answer is to:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mod_tile/ajt
sudo service rendered restart

If there is a better answer, I would love to know, but doing this worked for me.
