  I did not see this button, thanks.
However, even if I get "Project cache successfully reset." when clicking,
when restarting the job, I see:

So, the /builds/debian/taktuk/build/taktuk_3.7.8.orig.tar.gz file is not removed with the provided button
and still (wrongly) used to try to build the package.
