Icons for Outlook addin not updating

I have an icon for a button in my Outlook add-in.

For example, https:/xyz.com/img1 pointing to img1

Now if I update the image after deploying the add-in, the updated image is not loaded in the ribbon.

after update: https:/xyz.com/img1 pointing to img2.

Ideally, img2 should be visible in the ribbon, right?

Is there any cache that needs to be deleted? I have tried restarting Outlook client and desktop, but no change.

If I enable the add-in to a new user now, the new image is displayed as an icon, but for older users(for whom the add-in is enabled before changing the icon) the icon is still the old one.

How can we update the new icon in such scenarios?

Deleting the cache can often fix this issue. The cache location varies depending on the platform.

For Windows: Delete the content of the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef.

For Mac: Delete the content of the folder /Users/{your_name_on_the_device}/Library/Containers/com.Microsoft.OsfWebHost/Data/.
