The Clear Cache button on the Joomla Update page is confusing.
It does not clear Joomla's cache, but Joomla's Update Channel cache.
Steps to reproduce the issue
On Joomla 3.5.1 (with Conservative Cache = ON), go to Components > Joomla! Update > I choose Install the update
Everything went okay. My website was successfully updated to Joomla 3.6.0.
As recommended I cleared the cache by pressing the Clear Cache button.
However, after pressing the Clear Cache button, I did not get a message "Cleared Cache" but instead "Cleared Updates"
Expected result
I expected that pressing the Clear Cache button on Joomla's Update page would have cleared all cache.
Actual result
It did not clear all cache, but only the Joomla Update cache?
If you go to Extensions > Manage > Install, the options for installing extensions are missing:
But the necessary Plugins are all enabled:
As that seemed cache related, I had to empty Joomla's cache:
System > Clear Cache > Select [Administrator] > Delete All
After that, the administrator cache was cleared:
And I was able to use the Extension installer again:
Votes
Forgive me if this is a daft question (from a non-coder), but is it possible to build in the functionality to empty Joomla's cache after a core update?
Many thanks,
Dave.

Good question/suggestion @DavidBoggitt
I don't know if that is possible.
I was thinking about changing the language file with a clickable link to the System > Clear Cache > Select [Administrator] page...
@pe7er I think thats a good start

I "think" the functionality of that button is the same as the "refresh cache" button in "Extensions: Manage"
So I think we have TWO different issues to resolve here
1. The button and its message need changing to more accurately reflect what they do
2. There should be a message immediately on an update recommending to clear the cache and a direct link to the cache manager where you can do that
3.And, since joomla doesn't implement browser cache busting in all static files (js/css/etc), another message to inform to the user to clear the browser cache. Or Joomla should implement cache busting (See related issue #9638).
@brianteeman or what about changing the [Clear Cache] to [Clear Update Channel]
and adding a second real [Clear Cache] button (that triggers the [Delete All] functionality) ?
I prefer Refresh to Clear Update Channel
And I prefer Clear web site cache to Clear cache
