How to clear cache after PrestaShop 1.6 migration?

After performing a data migration to PrestaShop, you might encounter issues with outdated information displayed on your storefront due to cached data. This is a common occurrence after migrating to any platform, including PrestaShop. To resolve this after migrating to PrestaShop, follow the steps below to clear the cache. This guide applies to PrestaShop 1.6 and later versions.

How to Clear the Cache After PrestaShop Data Migration

To clear the PrestaShop cache and ensure your storefront displays the most current data after the data migration, delete the contents of the following folders:

1. cache/smarty/compile
2. cache/smarty/cache
3. img/tmp

Important: Clear all data within these folders, except the index.php file in each folder. Deleting the index.php file can cause issues with your website's directory structure and security.

Once you have cleared the cache, reload your website in your browser to view the updated data. If you still see old data, try clearing your browser's cache as well.
