w3tc_purge_allDestructive

Purge every W3 Total Cache cache type at once (page cache, minified assets, database cache, object cache) via the plugin's w3tc_flush_all() API. Use after a major site update, content migration, or when troubleshooting stale content.

}
w3tc_purge_urlDestructive

Purge the W3 Total Cache page-cache entry for a single URL on this site. Resolves the URL to a WordPress post or page and purges that post's cached page and its associated archive pages via w3tc_flush_post(), leaving the rest of the cache intact.

}
w3tc_purge_minifyDestructive

Purge only W3 Total Cache's minified/combined CSS and JS assets via w3tc_minify_flush(), leaving cached pages and other cache types intact. Use after changing theme or plugin styles/scripts when cached HTML is still fine but combined assets are stale.
