There are two ways to clear the cache in Magento:
Through the Magento Admin Panel
- Log in to your Admin Panel account
- Go to the System -> Cache Management section
- Click on the Flush Magento Cache button
Using SSH/FTP or the cPanel File Manager
Delete the contents of the var/cache/ folder using the following SSH command (MUST be executed from your Magento base directory):
rm -rf var/cache/*
OR
Delete the folder var/cache/ through your FTP client or using the cPanel File Manager.
Index Management
- Log in to Magento administrator control panel.
- Go To System > Index Management.
- On the left side is a list of categories that can be reindexed. Select the categories to reindex. If you want to run a reindex for all of the products, click “Select All”.

- Depending on how many categories, and the amount of information that needs to be reindexed, this could take a few minutes, or hours.
