I host my site on Cloudflare pages. I changed the title of one of my posts and regenerated the post slug to match, but apparently that doesn’t remove the previous version from the website. I found out because some RSS readers show the different title versions listed underneath each other, with links to the different working URLs. I don’t understand how that’s possible because the XML file only contains the new version. How can I permanently delete the old files? |

@jaimdm - I am not sure, but it sounds like RSS readers cache issue. Also - the old URLs are still working or not? Maybe it is a cache issue on the Cloudflare side too? |

It doesn't seem to be a cache issue for the RSS readers because it happens with a cleared cache too. The old URLs are still working. I did a custom purge of the cache of the old URLs in the Cloudflare dashboard but they are still working. |

@jaimdm - sounds like something goes wrong with syncing your website or during rendering. Could you check if the old URLs are present in your preview/ and output/ directories under your site catalog? If yes - then it seems to be issue while generating website If no - which deployment method are you using? When updating website you get many files to sync (like full website) or only few ones? |

The old URLs are not in the preview and output folders. I use Git repository and when I update I think it just syncs a few files. I found this while googling the issue so maybe it's a problem with Cloudflare and it may take a while to be deleted, even though I did a manual cache purge? |
@jaimdm - if the problematic file does not exist on your git repository now, then definitely it is a cloudflare issue described in the linked article
