+    empty_globalcaches!()
+
+Empty every global cache in [`GLOBAL_CACHES`](@ref).
+These mostly contain bookkeeping for various different index manipulations and tensor structures,
+so clearing this out can free up some memory whenever you have a workflow that involves a large variety of structures.
+For example, you may want to clear the cache when working with different symmetries, or in algorithms that dynamically alter the sizes of tensors.
+Since everything is recomputed on demand, this is purely a memory measure.
+
+See also [`global_cache_info`](@ref) to display the status.
