I need to know how to force the openedx lms/cms to clear static files cache. When I browse the lms for example, I got the static files like that 

/static/css/lms-style-vendor.XXXXXXX.css

I need to get the original source of this file not the cached one with XXXXXXX token. Or even generate a new one.

Also when I run django server, it take a while to load the modification in HTML templates.

I had a similar issue and figure out a way. You need to re-compile the theme. Here are the steps.

sudo -u edxapp bash
source /edx/app/edxapp/edxapp_env
cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform
paver update_assets cms --settings=aws
paver update_assets lms --settings=aws
exit

This will update the files that are served from /edx/var/edxapp/staticfiles/images
