docs(misc): remove /nx-api pages (#31453)
This PR removes the `/nx-api` pages from `nx-dev`. They are already
redirected from `/nx-api` to either `/technologies` or
`/reference/core-api` URLs.

e.g. `/nx-api/nx` goes to `/reference/core-api/nx` and `/nx-api/react`
goes to `/technologies/react/api`

**Changes**:
- Remove old `nx-api.json` from being generated in
`scripts/documentation/generators/generate-manifests.ts` -- this was
used to generate the sitemap
- Remove `pages/nx-api` from Next.js app since we don't need them
- Remove workaround from link checker
`scripts/documentation/internal-link-checker.ts` -- the angular
rspack/rsbuild and other workarounds are gone now that they are proper
docs in `map.json`
- Update Powerpack/Remote Cache reference docs to exclude API documents
(since they are duplicated in the Intro page) --
`nx-dev/models-document/src/lib/mappings.ts`
- All content in `docs` have been updated with new URL structure

**Note:** Redirects are already handled, and Claude Code was used to
verify the updated `docs/` URLs (see report below). The twelve 404s
links were updated by hand.

title: Skip Task Caching
description: Learn how to bypass Nx's caching mechanism for specific tasks, skip remote caching from Nx Cloud, and reset the cache when needed.

# Skip Task Caching
There are times when you might want to bypass the [caching mechanism](/features/cache-task-results), either locally or remotely.
## Skip Caching
To skip caching for a specific task, use the `--skip-nx-cache` flag. This can be useful when you want to ensure that a task runs fresh, without using cached results.
```shell
npx nx build --skip-nx-cache
```
This will avoid using any local or remote cache.
## Skip Remote Caching from Nx Cloud
To skip remote caching provided by Nx Cloud, use the `--no-cloud` flag. This ensures that the task does not use cached results from Nx Cloud.
```shell
npx nx build --no-cloud
```
It will **still use the local cache if available**.
## Reset
To clear the cache and metadata about the workspace and shuts down the Nx Daemon you can use the [reset](/reference/core-api/nx/documents/reset) command:
```shell
npx nx reset
```
