Delete Cache utility
In this topic
The Delete Cache utility allows you to delete map or image service caches using the command line. This utility deletes the entire cache, including the tiling scheme. If you only want to delete tiles while leaving the tiling scheme intact, use the Manage Cache Tiles utility.
Parameters

-u | The name of an ArcGIS Server user who will execute the utility. The user must have the appropriate level of privileges to execute the action. If your site is configured with web-tier authentication, specify a built-in user, such as the primary site administrator account. |
-p | The password of the user who was specified with the -u parameter. |
-s | The URL of the site, in one of the following formats:
