If you want to simply empty the cache, you can follow the steps Garth outlined [here](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/store-and-forward-clear-cache/25588/4) or Dave [here](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/clean-store-forward-local-cache/8292/2) to remove and regenerate a new, fresh local cache. I would recommend a read through of his explanation on when and why to do this, as well just a general browse through other forum thread conversations on this as there are quite a few.
