Clear CrossOver Cache on Mac
To recover space or resolve issues, you can clear the temporary app cache and remove unused bottles. While some data takes up 2 GB – 50 GB, only specifically marked cache folders are rebuilt automatically.

CrossOver cache folders you can clear
These folders are rebuilt automatically, so removing them does not touch your own files.
Locations are the standard macOS folders CrossOver uses; some appear only after you use the matching feature.
Managing the CrossOver cache
Specific to CrossOver
The app cache stores downloaded installer data and temporary system files. Clearing this specific area helps when installers fail or the cache grows too large. However, since each Windows program resides in its own bottle, the best way to reclaim significant space is by deleting bottles for programs you no longer use.
What happens after cleaning CrossOver
Removing the cache folder will result in a slower first start while the app rebuilds necessary files. Since your license is linked to your CodeWeavers account, you can register it again if needed. Deleting a bottle permanently removes that program along with all its internal saves and settings.
