The cache is an essential component of npm that enhances efficiency in the package management. By caching downloaded packages, npm can speed up installations and allow offline installations because for the next time previously installed packages can be retrieved from the cache. Clearing the npm cache can be useful for reclaiming disk space by removing cached packages that are no longer used in the project's long time ago. This tutorial shows how to clear npm cache.

npm cache clean --force
