If you want to avoid editing `.gitlab-ci.yml`, you can easily clear the cache
via GitLab's UI. This will have an impact on all caches of your project as
name of the cache directory will be renamed by appending an integer to it
(`-1`, `-2`, etc.):
via GitLab's UI:
1. Navigate to your project's **CI/CD > Pipelines** page.
1. Click on the **Clear Runner caches** to clean up the cache.
1. On the next push, your CI/CD job will use a new cache.

Behind the scenes, this works by increasing a counter in the database, and the
value of that counter is used to create the key for the cache. After a push, a
new key is generated and the old cache is not valid anymore.
