I’m currently using Coil in my project with image caching and would like to remove a specific image from the cache by URL for example. I’m currently building a singleton ImageLoader like this:

setSingletonImageLoaderFactory { context ->
        ImageLoader.Builder(context)
            .diskCachePolicy(CachePolicy.ENABLED)
            .networkCachePolicy(CachePolicy.ENABLED)
            .diskCache {
                DiskCache.Builder().directory(FileSystem.SYSTEM_TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY/"coil_img_cache")
                    .maxSizeBytes(256L * 1024 * 1024) /// 256MB
                        .build()
            }
            .crossfade(true)
            .build()
    }

But when I retrieve the singleton using SingletonImageLoader.get(LocalPlatformContext.current) , and even forcibly clear out all caches:

imgLoader.diskCache?.clear()
imgLoader.memoryCache?.clear()

The image still stays in memory until I clear the cache in the app-options on Android. Does anyone have a better idea on how to approach this? Thanks!

Hmm I’d expect the disk cache + memory cache clear() code you posted to clean both caches as expected. Maybe you’re somehow referencing different ImageLoader instances? You can check the imageLoader.toString() on the instance you set + the instance you got to verify

I would also expect it to be the same Singleton created inside the factory but I'll take a look, thanks!
