How to clear an Azure Redis Cache using PowerShell?

We can use the Azure PowerShell module, which offers cmdlets (commands) for controlling various Azure resources, including Azure Redis Cache, to clear an Azure Redis Cache using PowerShell. In this case, clearing the cache essentially resets the Redis cache by flushing or erasing all of the data that was previously stored within.

Steps

1. Firstly, we need to set up the Azure PowerShell module by using the following command:

2. Now, restart the PowerShell session after installation.

3. We must log in and connect to the Azure subscription in order to manage Azure resources. To sign in, run the following command and adhere to the instructions:

4. Then, we must use the Get-AzRedisCache cmdlet to retrieve a list of the Azure Redis Cache instances. We can select the specific cache instance that we want to clear. Change the Azure Resource Group name for “ResourceGroupName,” and the Redis Cache instance name for “CacheName.”

5. The Clear-AzRedisCache cmdlet can be used to clear the cache once the Redis Cache instance has been saved in the $redisCache variable:

We will be prompted by this command to confirm we want to erase the cache. If we want to skip the confirmation window, use the -Force flag.

These commands will effectively reset the Redis cache to an empty state by clearing the cache’s data. Due to the potential loss of all cached data, exercise caution while performing this step in a production setting.

Before emptying the cache, especially in production circumstances, please make sure we have the required permissions and backups in place.
