Hi

cache-clean -w doesn't clean cache but it says the cache cleaned

Watcher initialized (Ctrl-C to quit)
Cleaning cache type(s) layout full_page

When pressing a it flushes all the caches and it works
Other options like [c]onfig [b]lock_html [l]ayout [t]ranslate [f]ull_page [v]iew
doesn't work

Installed node v10.16.3
Ubuntu 18.04

Can you please run the command in debug mode with the -vv or --debug flag, press the key to flush the layout cache, and post the debug output here?

cache-clean.js -w --debug

It worked when loading the project for the first time and editing the default.xml

After that, I have modified n number of times this default.xml and it didn't clean the cache

Below is the output

Thanks for the additional information. I notice in your app/etc/env.php there is an ID prefix defined for both the default and the page_cache backends, but no other backend configuration.
Unfortunately there is a bug in the last few Magento2 versions that caused the full page cache to be written to the regular cache directory in that case.
The patch fixing the bug has been accepted, but isn't yet merged into the 2.3 mainline.
The results of that bug are that sometimes the cache tag-to-record mapping is overwritten, and that cleaning the full page cache cleans the complete cache.

As a workaround, please try adding the following cache backend_options config to your env.php file:

    'cache' => [
        'frontend' => [
            'default' => [
                'id_prefix' => '5b0_'
            ],
            'page_cache' => [
                'id_prefix' => '5b0_',
                'backend_options' => [
                    'cache_dir' => 'page_cache'
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]

Please try this and let me know if that fixes the issue for you. If not, I'll have to investigate further.
