# Vercel: manually purge the CDN cache

## Steps
1. Under your project, open **CDN** in the sidebar, then select **Caches**.
2. In the **Purge cache** section, choose what you want to purge.
3. Click **Purge**.
4. In the dialog, choose **Invalidate** (recommended; marks the tag stale, revalidates in the background) or **Delete** (marks it deleted, regenerates in the foreground — can cause a cache stampede).
5. In the dropdown, choose **Cache Tag** or **Source Image**.
6. Enter a tag or source image in the input (`*` purges the entire project).
7. Click the **Purge** button in the dialog to confirm.

## End state
Cached entries matching the tag/source image are invalidated or deleted across CDN cache, Runtime Cache, and Data Cache together.
