How to delete or clear a specific pod from cocoapods cache

January 05, 2023

Clearing a specific pod

pod cache clean --all # will clean all pods
pod cache clean 'FortifySec' --all # will remove all installed 'FortifySec' pods

Sample output of pod cache clean 'FortifySec', for pods not using semantic versioning, this could result in many copies of same pod in cache:

pod cache clean 'FortifySec'
1: FortifySec v2.2 (External)
2: FortifySec v2.2 (External)
...
...
18: FortifySec v2.2 (External)
19: FortifySec v2.2 (External)

Which pod cache do you want to remove?

Complete cleanup (pod reset)

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods
rm -rf Pods
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
pod deintegrate
pod setup
pod install
