Hi Steve,
The REST API would be the "right" way to delete the cache (and definitely the layers). But for the cached tiles at least, in my experience it's generally ok to simply delete them directly - the only problem I came up against doing that was that the quota calculators would lose track of the state of things, so if you're relying on them then I'd recommend going that route.
Others may have more experience of managing that many layers.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I have a GS instance with ~30,000 raster layers. I want to remove about 5,000 layers. I also would like to remove the tile cache for most of the layers and just let these tiles re-seed on on as-needed basis. Do I need to do this with REST, or can I just delete a bunch of directories in the gwc directory.? Using GS 2.5.5.....some of this is housecleaning before we upgrade.

Thanks,
Steve
