There’s a fix for this in the development version: [wp-super-cache.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-super-cache.zip) * [technabob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technabob/) * (@technabob) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438430) * What’s the easiest way to upgrade to the development version? I’m used to using the built in WordPress upgrader. Or should I just wait for the update release to come out? Donncha, any idea when that might be? * Oh, and I second what has already been said – thanks for all your work on this plugin – you’ve made millions of sites much faster. * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438432) * Download the zip file, unzip it and then upload the directory wp-super-cache to your wp-content/plugins/ directory. It should overwrite the directory of the same name there. * [technabob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technabob/) * (@technabob) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438435) * I installed the update, but even when I clear cache, I’m still seeing cached files under the “WP-Cache” section in the interface. Expired pages are clearing properly though. Is this normal behavior? * [echezuria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/echezuria/) * (@echezuria) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438438) * The problem persist on the development version too. I just upload and overwrite the plugin files with the development version and it is still not deleting the WP-Cache files when I click the delete cache button. * Please could you fix this? or should we download de 0.9.9.9 version? * [pixeline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixeline/) * (@pixeline) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438439) * [@echezuria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/echezuria/): are you absolutely sure that : – the cache and inside content is chmoded 777 via ssh: `chmod -R user:user wp-content/cache/*` * – php user has proper rights? via ssh (replace “user with the proper owner in your system): `chown -R user:user wp-content/cache/*` * Try deleting afterwards via WP Super Cache. * If that doesn’t work, try deleting the cache manually via FTP and then observe if the plugin is able to delete the new cache files, because the faulty cache may have been created with a previous version of Super Cache which lacked proper rights. That’s what happened to me: upgrading to the latest Super Cache + deleting the old cache to start afresh solved it. Runs smooth now! * [dikkevandale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dikkevandale/) * (@dikkevandale) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438440) * [@pixeline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixeline/), that was my solution. Thanks! * [Justin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justinhorn/) * (@justinhorn) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438442) * I’ve noticed that the main delete button only clears the super cache files. I’ve been able to delete the regular cache one by one, by looking in the list view. * Although, sometimes some regular cache files will not delete this way either and I have to do it from FTP / SSH. * UPDATE: The manual delete not working, might have just been because there was a spammer hitting the same pages over and over. Since I deleted that account and blocked their IP I can delete all the regular cache files manually. * [echezuria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/echezuria/) * (@echezuria) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438443) * [@pixeline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pixeline/), I just tried what you said with chmod command via ssh, but it is still not deleting the regular cache. Also I delete manually the old cache files, but it didn’t work anyway. * Plugin Author [Donncha O Caoimh (a11n)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) * (@donncha) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438447) * This is fixed in the dev version. The zip file will update in about 15 minutes. * [echezuria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/echezuria/) * (@echezuria) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438449) * Thanks a lot Donncha, I just download the dev version and it is working fine. * [magonzalez987](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magonzalez987/) * (@magonzalez987) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-delete-cache-button-problem/page/2/#post-2438452) * tried Compress pages so they’re served more quickly to visitors.
