## hugo mod clean

Delete the Hugo Module cache for the current project.

### Synopsis

Delete the Hugo Module cache for the current project.

Note that after you run this command, all of your dependencies will be re-downloaded next time you run "hugo".

Also note that if you configure a positive maxAge for the "modules" file cache, it will also be cleaned as part of "hugo --gc".
 


```
hugo mod clean [flags]

      --all              clean entire module cache
  -h, --help             help for clean
