# Changes to Resets the Bytescale CDN cache for a specific path, path prefix, or for your entire account.

You can choose to reset the edge cache, or permanent cache, or both caches.

*Warning:* Resetting the permanent cache (by setting ```resetPermanentCache: true```) may lead to a significant increase in processing time if numerous file transformations need to be re-performed upon their next request.

*Recommended:* Prevent cache resets by adding a ```?v=<etag>``` querystring parameter to your URLs. This ensures your URLs change when your files change, eliminating the need for cache resets. The `etag` field is returned by GetFileDetails and all upload operations, and can be saved to your database.

*Example patterns:*

- ```"/*"```
- ```"/raw/example.jpg"```
- ```"/image/example.jpg"```
- ```"/image/customers/abc/*"```

You may only use ```*``` at the end of the pattern. You must not include your account ID prefix in the pattern.
