Hello @Jason ,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Root purge of the AFD cache can be done via an API POST call using purge /*. This is mentioned in the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/front-door-caching#cache-purge

Please refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/frontdoorservice/frontdoor/endpoints/purgecontent

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance on this issue from our end.

This answer does not solve the problem. This simply creates a new problem: now all the js files old clients are using are gone.

We specifically need the ability to "only delete .html files, leaving all other file types intact" for basically all modern web frontends.
