Clear Adobe XD Cache on Mac

Adobe XD is in maintenance mode, so clearing its cache helps recover space or fix sync issues without removing your documents. The app stores cloud caches and autosaves in a folder containing your own data, typically ranging from 500 MB – 10 GB.

Adobe XD cache folders you can clear

Adobe XD has no separate cache folder. Its folders hold settings and your own data, so there is nothing to clear safely by hand.

Adobe XD cache contents and signs

Specific to Adobe XD

The app keeps cloud document caches and autosaves together in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe XD. This folder holds your own data, so a document that never synced may only exist there. Clearing helps if the app freezes or fails to sync, but you must back up unsaved work first. Do not delete this folder entirely if you have local-only changes.

Adobe XD cache results

After clearing, the app rebuilds necessary cache files on the next launch, causing a slower first start. You remain signed in because licensing data stays in shared Creative Cloud folders. Your cloud documents remain accessible, but any local autosaves not previously synced are lost. The app functions normally once the cache regenerates.
