How to clear cache for a URL in URLCache.shared?

Question

Is it possible to clear the URL Cache for just one url and not the whole cache? I have already tried this put it does not seem to do anything.

let url = URL(string: "https://example.com")!
        let request = URLRequest(url: url)
        URLCache.shared.removeCachedResponse(for: request)

That does not make sense. If you don't want cache to be used, you should handle that using `request.cachePolicy`. — Sulthan, Nov 06 '18 at 22:15
Note that cache item is not keyed only by url. It depends on other things, too, mainly the headers. — Sulthan, Nov 07 '18 at 08:57

You can try make request to some url with different cache policy like reloadRevalidatingCacheData which will delete all cache for this url.

Careful with this specific policy on older OS versions though: "Versions earlier than macOS 10.15, iOS 13, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13 don’t implement this constant." Use e.g. `reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData` in that case instead. – Micky Nov 09 '21 at 10:20
