Deletes an existing Map Service cache including all associated files on disk.
This is an unrecoverable operation so only use if you are sure you no longer need the cache.
Usage tips
-
If there is more than one data frame in the cache directory only the active data frame of the specified Map Service will be removed.
-
If there is only one data frame in the cache directory the entire directory will be removed.
-
After this tool runs the Map Service will be restarted.
-
This tool does not accept any Environment Setting that have been specified.
