How to delete cache in Cordova#

Cordova is a popular framework used by developers to create mobile applications. In some cases, these applications may experience issues due to cached data. To resolve such issues, developers can delete the cache in Cordova.

The first option to delete cache in Cordova is to clear it programmatically with the following code:

 function clearCache() {
     window.cache.clear(
         function success() {
             console.log("Cache cleared successfully");
         },
         function error() {
             console.log("Error while clearing cache");
         }
     );
 }

This code will delete all cached data of your application.
