    );

i have tried

annotatedImg.cacheManager.emptyCache();

Answer 1

Since CachedNetworkImage version 2.3, all these solutions won't work because it cached images in 2 different places (DefaultCacheManager & NetworkImageProvider)

So the only solution is using the evictFromCache built-in method from CachedNetworkImage

like this:

Future _deleteImageFromCache() async {
    String url = "your url";
    await CachedNetworkImage.evictFromCache(url);
  }

evictFromCache is a Static method so it doesn't require to have the CachedNetworkImage in your Widget tree, you can use it directly from any place.
