How to clear cache in Google Gears

I have just installed the latest 's project called . It works with perfectly. Anyway, I have some problem with internet connection during in on-line mode. As a result, javascript was corrupted but Google Gears didn't realize this problem. Even though I moved to better internet connection, the broken javascript was not redownloaded again. I also tried to clear cache in Firefox with no luck. Eventually, I found that Google Gears have its own cache.

Google Gears store its cache in profile directory. For example, my profile is in /home/sugree/.mozilla/firefox/01234567.default so the cache is in Google Gears for Firefox under that profile. In that directory, you will find directory named www.google.com which has all cache files for www.google.com inside. You just need to simply remove www.google.com to clear broken caches.

Can I ask - what have you been able to use Google Gears for so far? I mean, I'm really looking forward to it being the enabling mechanism in offline Google Docs, but I'm not sure what it's used for right now

There is only Google Reader supporting Google Gears right now. However, Google Docs and its series might support this cool gears in a short while. In addition, you are able to use these gears in your applications too.
