How to Purge

Learn how to invalidate cached content instantly across all Medianova CDN

You can manage Purge operations in the Medianova Control Panel or via API.

Log in to the Medianova Control Panel, select a CDN Resource in the CDN section, and navigate to the Purge tab.

Purge Cached Files

Purge instantly invalidates cached content across all Medianova CDN cache layers. Use this feature when updated content is not yet reflected or when outdated assets need to be refreshed.

1

Enter File Path

In the Path field, type the exact file or directory path you want to purge. You can specify multiple paths by entering one per line.

Example:

/myimages/subfolder/image.png
/assets/css/*

2

Use Wildcards

You can use the * symbol to purge multiple files within a directory.

Examples:

• /images/* — removes all files and subdirectories inside /images/

• /images/im* — removes files starting with “im”

3

Execute the Purge

Click Purge Files to start the invalidation. Medianova CDN will distribute the purge request to all cache layers and mark the specified objects as expired. The next request will automatically fetch the latest version from your origin.

Medianova’s purge mechanism rapidly invalidates content across every cache layer (from edge nodes to core caches), usually finishing propagation within seconds under normal conditions. This near-immediate purge completion means users around the world see the updated content almost instantly after you purge.
