If you're running into caching issues, uv includes a few escape hatches:
- To clear the cache entirely, run `uv cache clean`. To clear the cache for a specific package, run
`uv cache clean <package-name>`. For example, `uv cache clean ruff` will clear the cache for the
`ruff` package.
- To force uv to revalidate cached data for all dependencies, pass `--refresh` to any command (e.g.,
`uv sync --refresh` or `uv pip install --refresh ...`).
- To force uv to revalidate cached data for a specific dependency pass `--refresh-package` to any
command (e.g., `uv sync --refresh-package flask` or `uv pip install --refresh-package flask ...`).
command (e.g., `uv sync --refresh-package ruff` or `uv pip install --refresh-package ruff ...`).
- To force uv to ignore existing installed versions, pass `--reinstall` to any installation command
(e.g., `uv sync --reinstall` or `uv pip install --reinstall ...`).
(e.g., `uv sync --reinstall` or `uv pip install --reinstall ...`). (Consider running
`uv cache clean <package-name>` first, to ensure that the cache is cleared prior to
reinstallation.)
As a special case, uv will always rebuild and reinstall any local directory dependencies passed
explicitly on the command-line (e.g., `uv pip install .`).
