Request queue not found if I delete the request queue from apify storage

[harshmaur]

When I delete the request queue from apify, but I still have my server running, When I try to add a new request with the same name, it says that the request queue was not found instead of creating a new request queue with the same name.

I basically have to restart my server to make it work. Is that because of cache? if yes, is there a way I can clear this cache programmatically so that I do not need to restart my server?

Yes, there is a cache for the storage instances. Try running StorageManager.clearCache() (it accepts a single parameter which is the configuration instance, if you use an explicit config instead of the global one, pass it there).

Note that this should be handled automatically if you call queue.drop(), not sure how you deleted the queue, probably not that way?

Got it. I deleted using the apify console, but its a good idea that I can create an endpoint in my codebase to delete programmatically.
