Cleaning System Cache

MPS caches a great number of files, therefore the system cache may one day become overloaded. In certain situations the caches will never be needed again, for example, if you work with frequent short-term projects. Also, the only way to solve some conflicts is to clean out the cache.

warning

Cleaning out the system caches, keep in mind that:

• It results in clearing the Local History.
  To avoid losing data, check in the changes to your version control system before invalidating caches.

• It causes a complete rebuild of all the projects ever run in the current version of MPS.

Clean the system caches

• Select File | Invalidate Caches/Restart from the main menu.

  The Invalidate Caches message appears informing you that the caches will be invalidated and rebuilt on the next start. Use buttons in the dialog to invalidate caches, restart MPS, or both.

It is important to note the following:

• The files are not actually deleted until MPS restarts.

• Opening and closing a project does not result in deleting any files.
