Clear Pixel Cache (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Clears the pixel cache associated with a mosaic dataset.

The pixel cache for a mosaic dataset can be generated by running the Add Rasters to Mosaic Dataset tool with the Enable Pixel Cache parameter checked. The pixel cache improves the performance when viewing and performing analysis on a mosaic that references rasters on cloud or slow Network Attached Storage (NAS). The cache is stored on the local machine, improving performance.

Usage

  • This tool allows you to manage the generated cache of a mosaic dataset by deleting the pixel cache.

    Note:

    The cache cannot be deleted if the mosaic dataset is open in the map.

  • The pixel cache will be regenerated from the source when the mosaic dataset is reviewed.
