Tomcat memory clean without restarting the server

I am using Tomcat 7.0.50 server.

How can I delete the tomcat cache memory without restarting the server?

Solution

  • You can find how to delete Tomcat Cache here

    You can delete the "work" folder under Tomcat Home. Even if it does allow you to delete the folder while tomcat is running, I would guess it will cause troubles to your running site.
