Duplicate of #6451. Remove cache with youtube-dl --rm-cache-dir.

thank you.

that worked instantly. also for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9ayN39xmsI which had failed earlier.

preventative maintenance: is it possible for youtube-dl to either automatically determine that this needs doing, or suggest it as part of the error message?
