How do I safely clean up the redirections cache?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

You can delete the content inside the redirections_cache table. Make sure that you don’t remove the table directly but the content inside it. It might make your current redirections run a little bit slower for the first time they are loaded after deleting the cached content but won’t cause any issues on your site.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

Hello,

The redirections should be removed from the cache table once you remove them from the redirections module. Can you please confirm if you still have the redirections in the Trash of the redirections module?

Looking forward to helping you.

Thanks.

Hello,

This doesn’t seem like a problem with cron jobs. The redirections should be removed from the cache table as soon as you delete them permanently or update them.
