Manual cleaning

Warning!

Delete file index.php in directories with cache files is not allowed. In this case, the site may malfunction.

For manual cleaning, you need to delete all files except index.php, from directories:

  1. /cache/smarty/compile
  2. *cache/smarty/cache
  3. *img/tmp

You can perform these actions using filemanager or any FTPclient.
