Clearing cached data shouldn’t be necessary for routine operation, if it is, then something is wrong! Doing it on mass has serious load implications as every display request will have to regenerate cache at the same time.

In an emergency and if you’re using docker you could restart the memcached container, which would clear the entire cache.
