Flush Redis Cache via Azure CLI commands like a pro with a little help from our experts. Our Redis Support team is here to help you with your questions and concerns.
Azure CLI Flush Redis Cache | An Introduction
Azure CLI is a command-line interface for managing Azure resources. While Redis is a popular in-memory data store that helps improve application performance.
Did you know that Azure offers a fully managed Redis cache service called Azure Cache for Redis? It allows users to deploy as well as manage Redis instances with high availability, security, and scalability.
According to our experts, Flushing a Redis cache involves means deleting the data stored in the cache. This is handy when we want to reset the cache or remove all cached data due to compliance or security issues.
We can easily flush a Redis cache in Azure Cache for Redis via Azure CLI, with the following command:
az redis cache flush --name --resource-group
The above command deletes the data stored in the Redis cache mentioned cache-name in the resource group mentioned as resource-group-name.
Our experts would like to point out that this operation is not reversible and all data in the cache will be lost. Therefore, it has to be done with caution.
Furthermore, there are different options to specify the Redis cache’s subscription as well as other configuration parameters.
Alternatively, we can use the flushall command if we are running Redis in a VM and we need a tool to connect remotely to the cache.

Hi,
This recommendation is not working.
On following this “az redis cache flush –name –resource-group”
#> az redis cache flush –name myarc.redis.cache.windows.net –resource-group my-resource-group
‘cache’ is misspelled or not recognized by the system.
#> az redis cache flush myarc.redis.cache.windows.net my-resource-group
‘cache’ is misspelled or not recognized by the system.
Hello Sarath,
it seems like you want to flush the Redis cache, but there’s no direct “flush” command in the Azure CLI for Redis cache. Instead, you can force a cache reboot, which effectively clears the cache data.
