uv cache

Manage uv's global cache directory. More information: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/cli/#uv-cache.

• Show the cache directory path:

uv cache dir

• Clean the entire cache (removes all cached packages and environments):

uv cache clean

• Clean the cache for specific packages:

uv cache clean {{package1 package2 ...}}

• Prune all unreachable objects from the cache:

uv cache prune

• Prune cache optimized for CI environments like GitHub Actions:

uv cache prune --ci

• Use a specific cache directory:

uv cache clean --cache-dir {{path/to/cache}}

• Clean cache with verbose output:

uv cache clean {{[-v|--verbose]}}
