Clear Session Cache in OpenClaw

From the OpenClaw cheat sheet · Session Cache · verified Jul 2026

Clear cached sessions after model changes or when conversations get stuck.

bash

# Clear cached sessions (required after model changes)
openclaw gateway stop
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/*
openclaw gateway start

💡 Model changes in config have no effect until you clear the session cache

⚡ This is the fix for "I changed the model but it's still using the old one"

📌 Clearing sessions resets all conversation history — there is no selective clear

🟢 Also fixes stuck conversation loops where the bot keeps repeating itself
