DESCRIPTION

       The  dotnet nuget locals command clears or lists local NuGet resources in the http-request
       cache, temporary cache, or machine-wide global packages folder.

ARGUMENTS

       • CACHE_LOCATION

         The cache location to list or clear.  It accepts one of the following values:

         • all - Indicates that the specified operation is applied  to  all  cache  types:  http-
           request cache, global packages cache, and the temporary cache.

         • http-cache  -  Indicates  that  the  specified  operation is applied only to the http-
           request cache.  The other cache locations aren’t affected.

         • global-packages - Indicates that the specified operation is applied only to the global
           packages cache.  The other cache locations aren’t affected.

         • temp  - Indicates that the specified operation is applied only to the temporary cache.
           The other cache locations aren’t affected.

OPTIONS

       • --force-english-output

         Forces the application to run using an invariant, English-based culture.

       • -?|-h|--help

         Prints out a description of how to use the command.

       • -c|--clear

         The clear option executes a clear operation on the specified cache type.   The  contents
         of  the  cache  directories are deleted recursively.  The executing user/group must have
         permission to the files in the  cache  directories.   If  not,  an  error  is  displayed
         indicating the files/folders that weren’t cleared.

       • -l|--list

         The list option is used to display the location of the specified cache type.

EXAMPLES

       • Displays  the  paths  of  all the local cache directories (http-cache directory, global-
         packages cache directory, and temporary cache directory):

                dotnet nuget locals all -l

       • Displays the path for the local http-cache directory:

                dotnet nuget locals http-cache --list

       • Clears all files from all local cache directories (http-cache directory, global-packages
         cache directory, and temporary cache directory):

                dotnet nuget locals all --clear

       • Clears all files in local global-packages cache directory:

                dotnet nuget locals global-packages -c

       • Clears all files in local temporary cache directory:

                dotnet nuget locals temp -c
