Answer 1

if you look at the header file for UITableView, you can see that there is a private NSMutableDictionary (iVar) called "_reusableTableCells". This is a dictionary with cell reuse identifiers as key and with array with cells that are currently offscreen as value.

If you want to manually flush queued cells in way that may change with the implementation, you can do so in ugly manner, like so:

NSMutableDictionary *cells = (NSMutableDictionary*)[self.tableView valueForKey:@"_reusableTableCells"];
[cells removeAllObjects];

Hope this helps...
