Notion has this page to Troubleshoot and Reset Notion. I work with so many different client workspaces that my cache often gets messed up. So I wrote this script (Windows) to
- Kill all running instances of Notion, and
- Clear the cache from AppData\Roaming\Notion
Anybody who knows what they are doing would never download a command script from an unknown site, so I’m including the text below. You’ll want to save this to a file with a .cmd extention, then you can clear and reset Notion cache on demand.
