Clear Memory / RAM cache in Linux

 

How to Clear Cache in Linux?

Every Linux System has three options to clear cache without interrupting any processes or services.


1. Clear PageCache only.


# sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

2. Clear dentries and inodes.


# sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

3. Clear pagecache, dentries, and inodes.


# sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
