How about clearing all the cache? (Or at least everything created the last few months.)
I've never seen anyone suggest it, I suppose It cannot or should not be done for some reason?

You are asking for deleting petabytes of data. Some sides are interested in owning such data.
The real problem is going to be where history matters and you can't delete - for example archive.org and httparchive.org. There is no way to reproduce the content in the archive obviously, so no one will be deleting it. The only way is to start a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) sanitization project...
or clearing all the cache of Cloudflares website. I think that's do-able.
At this moment problem is not in Cloudflare's side, search engines crawled tons of data with leaked information, even though Cloudflare drops their caches, data is already in 3rd party servers (search engines, crawlers, agencies)
That's why he asked that the caches of all Cloudflare sites are dropped, not by Cloudflare but by these 3rd parties.

no I meant, get a list of all domains using Cloudflare, get that removed from the cache of Crawlers.
