Doing things outside of Eclipse is more likely to create problems than solve
them. Subclipse uses the same code as the command line.

To delete the cache, close Eclipse. The cache is stored in:

[workspace]/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/PROJECTNAME/.syncinfo

So you can just find and delete all files named .syncinfo in
[workspace]/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects.
