Clear the cached downloads

Empties the memoised in-session cache and, optionally, the on-disk one.

Usage

clear_country_cache(source = NULL, disk = FALSE)

Arguments

source

Which source's cache to clear, or NULL (default) for all. Only the World Bank cache is currently persisted to disk; other sources are memoised per session.

disk

Also delete the on-disk cache (default FALSE).

Value

Invisibly TRUE.

What a global clear releases

Called with no source, this also drops the two cached geometry backends: the Natural Earth sf layer held per scale (tens of megabytes at scale = "medium") and the memoised map_data("world") tibble (about 99,000 rows per override set). Those are the largest things the package keeps in memory, and in a long-lived process – a Shiny app or a plumber API – this is the only way to release them. They rebuild on the next map.

Naming a source leaves geometry alone, since it is not a data source.
