"An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action." error in SharePoint 2010

In this blog you will see how to resolve “An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action. The object SPClaimProviderManager Name=ClaimProviderManager was updated by <domain/service id>, in the w3wp (11036) process, on machine <servername>. View the tracing log for more information about the conflict.” error in SharePoint 2010.

While I was trying to delete the web application from Central Administration in SharePoint 2010 I was getting the following error.

 

This issue is caused because of SharePoint Configuration cache. The Configuration Cache exists on each SharePoint and it is stored in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\<GUID>\. It consists of thousands of XML files and a single cache.ini file. The XML file consists of farm objects from the SharePoint Configuration database and this is updated periodically by a timer job (Internal Name: job-config-refresh). Once I cleared this configuration cache the issue is resolved and I was able to delete the web application successfully without any issue.
