Deletes a cached value by key.
class CacheService method .remove()
CacheService is the Apps Script service.
.remove() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.
What it does
Why it's used
- Invalidate stale cache after settings change.
- Force a fresh pull on the next run.
Common errors
- Forgetting parentheses on remove. Write CacheService.remove(), not CacheService.remove or remove by itself.
- Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like CacheService.remove().
- Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write CacheService.remove(), not CacheService .remove(), CacheService.remove (), or CacheService . remove().
- Wrong capitalization. Use CacheService and remove, not cacheservice or remove.
