Clear Craft Cache on Mac

To clear the Craft cache, look for a cache option in the app's own settings first, and quit the app before changing any files. Synced spaces return after you sign in, so the main cost is a slower first start.

Craft cache folders you can clear

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

What the Craft cache holds and when clearing helps

Specific to Craft

The cache lives in the app's sandboxed data container, next to its settings and any local-only spaces. Local-only spaces exist only on this Mac, so that container holds your own data and should never be removed whole. Clearing the cache helps when images load slowly, documents show old content, or the container has grown large. Typical data for the app runs 500 MB – 10 GB, so a big container is not unusual by itself.

What happens after you clear the Craft cache

The app rebuilds its cache as you use it, so the first start will be slower while images and documents load again. Synced spaces download again after you sign in, and you may be asked to sign in once more. Local-only spaces are not stored in your account, so copy or back them up before you clear anything. Paid plans stay active because they are tied to your account, not to the files on this Mac.

Account and sync
Craft documents sync to your Craft account; the Mac keeps a local copy of spaces you open.

Frequently asked questions

Yes.
Does clearing the Craft cache cancel my subscription?
No. Paid plans are tied to your Craft account or Apple Account and are not cancelled by removing local files.
Why is Craft still slow after clearing the cache?
The first start rebuilds the cache and downloads synced spaces, so speed usually returns once that finishes.
