Stop Laravel from Retaining Sessions

I'm using a CentOS server instead of the Laravel Homestead environment, because it mimics the first project I want to try. My instance of Laravel is retaining views, so that I am unable to refresh a view after making an edit, unless I go into the 'Laravel\app\storage\views' directory and delete the current cached views. Is there a way to temporarily turn off view caching while I'm making changes, so that I can refresh the browser to see my changes?

I figured this out. The problem was with the server I made to host the site. The time was set ahead of the time on my local computer (where I'm editing the blade files). Larevel will only recompile the files in the /app/storage/views folder when the time on the views files is earlier than the time on the PHP blade files for the layout.

Had the same issue von my ubuntu machine and homestead on it.

Changed my clock 1h back to which it was right but then it wouldn't refresh the views.

THanks to you. i would have never found out what it caused.
