Hello @santhoshpresent,

Thanks for using our solution! You should be able to clear the cache both from the console and the Magento UI. This process is detailed in our Use The Magento Cache and you can find more information about it in the official Magento documentation.

Thanks for your prompt response,usually we have had used this two command but product cache showing on 50 GB but does not reduce size.

"sudo magento-cli cache:clean" and "sudo magento-cli cache:flush"

As so far as we didn't use this command from server starting.

If we try to below cmd "sudo magento-cli cache:flush --all"

will delete the unused cache? doesn't affect our magento site and images.

Hi,

you have two options for clear cache images:
1.
Command via CLI: sudo rm -rf pub/media/catalog/product/cache/

2.
Via admin:
Stores-Syste-Cache Management-Flush Catalog Images Cache

Of course, if you want to speed up the creation of the image cache (images are displayed on the page from the cache), run

sudo bin/magento-cli catalog:image:resize

Command sudo bin/magento-cli cache:flush does not affect the page and images.

Magento docs presents:

You can also clean and flush cache types in the Magento Admin. Go to System > Tools > Cache Management. Flush Cache Storage is equivalent to bin/magento-cli cache:flush. Flush Magento Cache is equivalent to bin/magento-cli cache:clean.

Maybe it will help

Regards

Eduard

Hello @santhoshpresent,

As @eduard explained (thanks for that!), deleting the cache won't affect your site. If you don't want to remove all your cache, you can specify the type of cache you want to delete. There is more information about cache types and how to clean/flush them in the second link I provided in my previous post.
