Clear CyberGhost VPN Cache on Mac

To clear the CyberGhost VPN cache, use the app's own clearing option if it has one. If it does not, quit the app and remove only its cache and log items, leaving the settings where they are.

CyberGhost VPN cache folders you can clear

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

What the CyberGhost VPN cache holds and when clearing helps

Specific to CyberGhost VPN

The CyberGhost folder in ~/Library/Application Support holds the app's settings, logs and cache together. Clearing helps most when the app connects slowly, shows outdated server lists, or its log folder keeps growing. Typical data size is 100 MB – 1 GB. Because ~/Library is hidden, open it from Finder with Go > Go to Folder.

What changes after you clear the CyberGhost VPN cache

Your subscription belongs to your CyberGhost account, so clearing the cache does not cancel it. The VPN configuration and network extension that the app added to macOS stay registered and remain listed in System Settings until you remove them separately. Your settings stay in place, and anything you move to the Trash can be restored until the Trash is emptied.

Does clearing the cache cancel my subscription?
