Hi,

I just made a mistake to cache the index action and now I cannot figure  
out how to delete it?

I have tried the following.

- restarted server
- set perform\_caching to false
- changed port
- changed cache store to different ports and file path.
- tried to expire\_page :action =\> :index
- tried to expire\_action :action =\> :index
- tried to restart my computer
- tried different enviroments

The cache is still hanging on the root index page.

I need help here to destroy or delete all cache in my app?

Thanks for help.

- rake tmp:cache:clear

did not work either.

then I tried.

This did not get me anywhere.
