How to clear react-native cache

Question

In react-native development  there are multiple caches used when the app is built   React-native packager cache Emulator cache Java side cache   gradle  folder  only in android  npm cache  if relevant    Am I missing something also  Because I m trying to clear cache in react-native  to be able to repeat a bug that only occurs on first usage  But clearing those caches above did not help  This is on android  When the app is building  most of the rows DO NOT say UP-TO-DATE  as expected  because I cleared the cache  But  there are still many rows where this text is printed  Like   app preBuild UP-TO-DATE app preDebugBuild UP-TO-DATE  app preReleaseBuild UP-TO-DATE  The question is  how can I clear the whole cache related to react-native development

I went into this issue today  too  The cause was kinda silly -- vscode auto imported something from express-validator and caused the bug    Just mentioning this in case anyone has done all the steps to clear cache  delete modules or what not
