If you are unable to access SSH on shared hosting servers, there is an alternative method to clear the cache by modifying the route file. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Locate the web.php file in your project. This file is usually located in the routes directory.
2. Open the web.php file in a text editor or an integrated development environment (IDE).
3. Insert the following code snippet at the desired location within the file:

 
 //Clear route cache:
 Route::get('/route-cache', function() {
     $exitCode = Artisan::call('route:cache');
     return 'Routes cache cleared';
 });

 //Clear config cache:
 Route::get('/config-cache', function() {
     $exitCode = Artisan::call('config:cache');
     return 'Config cache cleared';
 }); 

// Clear application cache:
 Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
     $exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
     return 'Application cache cleared';
 });

 // Clear view cache:
 Route::get('/view-clear', function() {
     $exitCode = Artisan::call('view:clear');
     return 'View cache cleared';
 });

Then save the changes to the web.php file.

Now, you can clear the cache of your application by accessing the /clear-cache URL in your web browser. For example, if your website URL is http://example.com, you would visit http://example.com/clear-cache.

After accessing the URL, the cache of your application will be cleared, and you should see a message indicating successful cache clearance.

If the cache is not cleared yet. Then go to the bootstrap/cache directory. And delete all files and sub-directories inside the bootstrap/cache directory.

Or, you can execute the following on the terminal instead of manually deleting the file:

cd bootstrap/cache/
rm -rf *.php
