Introduction

Clearing the server cache on your FiveM game server deletes temporarily stored files. This forces the server to download or create all required files again the next time it starts. This can remove outdated or corrupted data and help resolve performance issues, script errors, crashes, or problems loading the game world.

Easy method

Clearing the cache on your FiveM game server is super easy. First, go to your game server’s web interface. Find and open the Configuration section.

Then scroll all the way down until you find several buttons under the Actions section. Click the Delete cache files button to clear your game server’s cache.

Warning

This will immediately restart your server to clear the cache, so make sure you’re ready.

Alternative method

First, connect to your server via FTP. If you’re not familiar with FTP, we recommend checking out our FTP access guide. Next, find and delete the cache folder. Follow the path /gXXXXXX/fivem/server-data/cache to access it.

Now you just need to clear the cache. Click the Cache folder, then click Files. Select all the folders in the Cache folder and delete them.

Now restart your FiveM game server for the changes to take effect. The server will rebuild the cache when it restarts.

Conclusion

Once you’ve followed all the steps, you’ve successfully cleared your server’s cache. If you have any questions or need help, our support team is available every day! 🙂
