Magento2 - How to create cache files manually

Question

What are the cache directories of Magento 2.

Just I need to remove those my rm -rf command without executing Magento cache:flush command.

Answer 1

Either u can manually delete folders or using this command

rm -rf var/cache/ generated/code pub/static/frontend pub/static/adminhtml

After that you need to run these commands again , else the css/styles in magento frot-end and back-end won't load

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
sudo chmod -R 777 var/ pub/ generated/

Answer 2

So Are you want to remove cache files ? If yes than remove these folders:

/var/cache

/var/page_cache

Simply remove this folders.
