Clear Dashlane Cache on Mac
You can clear the leftover Dashlane folder on your Mac by quitting the app and moving that folder to the Trash. Dashlane retired its macOS desktop app and now works on a Mac through its browser extension and web app, so the folder is usually left over from the old version. Your passwords stay in your account either way.

Dashlane cache folders you can clear
Dashlane has no separate cache folder. Its folders hold settings and your own data, so there is nothing to clear safely by hand.
Clearing the Dashlane folder
Specific to Dashlane
The folder at ~/Library/Application Support/Dashlane holds settings or app data left by the former desktop app. Typical data for this app takes 100 MB – 1 GB. Because the desktop app is retired, you clear this folder in Finder rather than inside the app. Clearing helps when the leftover folder takes up space you need, or when the old files cause problems on your Mac.
What changes after you clear Dashlane data
Your passwords stay in your Dashlane account, so they remain available in the browser extension and mobile apps after you clear the folder. Removing the leftover files does not touch the account itself. If the browser extension asks you to sign in, use your account details to continue. Items in the Trash can be restored until the Trash is emptied, so you can put the folder back if something looks wrong.
