Trick
Disable and clear the image cache on the server
Merlin Backoffice Flex keeps a copy of the same photo in a special folder on the server, so you don't have to download it again.
Efficient, but consumes disk space. That's why we're planning to allow you to deactivate this caching feature and empty this folder if necessary.
To disable photo caching :
Allez dans l'onglet "Déclinaisons et images".
- Go to the “Images” sub-tab.
- Click on the “Settings” button.
- Go to the “Duplicates” tab.
- Uncheck the “Keep in ...” option.
- To empty the cache folder, answer “Yes, empty all”.
