Hi,
Nobody purges the cache manually. You get your CMS to purge the cache for
you.

It isn't stupid, computers don't have intuition and you have to actually
tell them when you update data. If you can propose another way of getting
the cache to magically purge itself of stale content please share it with
us. :-)
