Pants

How come when I try to search anything related to `cache` in the search bar on the Pants documentation site, none of the pages can be found? That is crazy bad behavior.
I am just trying to find out how to clear the cache, because for whatever reason `rm -rf ~/.cache/pants` just hangs

Links that don't work:

Why does there appear to be no way to delete my Pants cache???

I don’t think the command is hanging per se, more likely that your cache is so large and has so many files that it takes a while to delete. Try deleting one of the subfolders instead and see how long that takes

It just takes its time cause there are many small files
