Magento2 Correct Sequence to flush all Caches/Static files
Normaly you don't have to clear the folder manually. I use the following "rotation"
For clearing the cache:
- bin/magento cache:clean
For reindex new xml files:
- bin/magento index:reindex
- List item
- bin/magento cache:clean
For refresh or insert new plugins:
- bin/magento setup:upgrade
- -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy de_DE
- bin/magento index:reindex
- bin/magento cache:clean
If you need a "full-cleanup/refresh":
- bin/magento setup:upgrade
- -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:di:compile
- -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy de_DE
- bin/magento index:reindex
- bin/magento cache:clean
