Creating Purge Request

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a purge request from the console. To explain the purge cache:
Clear the cached files to force CloudFlare to get a new version of this server from your web server. You can clean your pictures by selecting them.
For example, you uploaded an image you previously named 'test.jpg' to the console and then deleted it. When you want to upload a new, different image and if the new image you want to upload is named 'test.jpg', the previous image will be shown to you because the image you have previously uploaded to the console is cached. You should create a purge request to prevent this situation.
