# Vite build cache not clearing on Vercel after redeploy from Manus checkpoints

Hi, please I need urgent help on the following issues

*   `Vite` project outputs to `dist/public`
*   Builds complete successfully, but `Vercel` serves old cached bundles
*   **Production Overrides** don’t match the current **Project Settings**
*   Redeploying doesn’t clear the old cache
*   I dont know why the build cache isn’t being cleared properly when I deploy from **Manus checkpoints**?

Thanks

Hey there! Your cached build issue is likely happening because Vercel is using stale build artifacts. 

**First, let's do a clean deploy without any cached data:**

- Go to your project dashboard → Deployments tab
- Click the three dots on your latest deployment → Redeploy
- **Uncheck "Use existing Build Cache"** → Deploy

Alternatively, you can force a clean build using:
- Add environment variable: `VERCEL_FORCE_NO_BUILD_CACHE=1`
- Via CLI: `vercel --prod --force`

**Since your Vite project builds to `dist/public`, you'll want to make sure this is configured correctly:**

- Go to Project Settings → Build & Development Settings
- Set Output Directory to `dist/public` (not just `dist`)
- Turn OFF any Production Override toggle if it's enabled

**If you have a `vercel.json` file in your project**, it might be overriding your dashboard settings. Check if you have something like:

```json
{
  "outputDirectory": "dist/public",
  "framework": "vite"
}
```
Could you also clarify what "Manus checkpoints" refers to? 

Let me know if the clean deploy fixes it or if you're still seeing issues!
