Clearing the cache

Every once in a while, you just want to clear everything in your local cache and start over. Thanks to replication, your data will remain secure; it'll just be wiped from your mobile device. If you sign in again, the data will be synced back to your device. The reason we don't do this when signing out is to speed up the rate at which your device resynchronizes with remote changes; though you can certainly clear it if you want. Clearing the cache is the nuclear option, rarely needed, but important to know how to do.
