How To Refresh Magento Cache?

Many issues will be avoided if you make sure to refresh Magento cache  when needed.  If you’re administrating a Magento store, here’s what you need to know about clearing cache, clearing sessions, and reindexing data.

Quick and dirty:
Using any FTP tool, delete everything under var/cache/, var/sessions/, and var/locks/. Please note that by doing so, all current sessions will be deleted – so if anyone is logged in on your site they will be logged out.
