I have implemented the SyncManager for offline support of the chat. Now when I send messages in the offline and then when I logout of the app. Then in online mode if I login back to app I see that the messages sent in offline(which were failed) retries and sends. When I logout of the app I close the SendBird connection, clear cache; but also messages are being cached.

I want the messages( **failed messages only** ) to get cleared when the user logout of the app. How can this be achieved. Please help.

Hi @Tej ,

The SyncManagerSDK does not provide a way for removing cache only for failed messages. The SDK keeps cached messages until `SendBirdSyncManager.clearCache()` is called, which removes all cached channels and messages.

It seems like your `Options.MessageResendPolicy` is `AUTOMATIC`, since you mentioned it being sent when you login in online mode, so you can change the policy to `MANUAL` if you don’t want it to be resent automatically.

Thank you.

Hi @hoons , thanks for the reply, but when I call the **SendBirdSyncManager.clearCache()** also the old messages are not getting cleared. And I want the ResendPolicy as Automatic only because I want to make sure the message are retired but when I logout of my app all the data should be cleared.
