# Clean cache

## Description

The **Clean Cache** activity clears the cached data associated with a selected datasource. This ensures that future queries fetch the most up-to-date information and helps maintain optimal system performance by removing stale or unnecessary data.

Use this activity to:

- Force-refresh data sources whose content may have changed externally.
- Improve workflow performance by freeing up memory used by outdated cache.
- Troubleshoot data consistency issues during testing or production workflows.

> **Use case**: If your workflow queries data from an external service and that service has changed, running this activity ensures the next request will pull fresh data instead of relying on stale cached values.
