Clear DeepL Cache on Mac
To clear the DeepL cache, quit the app, then remove its folder from Application Support inside your Library folder. The app keeps little locally because it mostly sends text to a remote service, so the cache is usually small and rebuilds itself the next time you open the app.
Clear the DeepL cache without guessing
DeepL data usually takes 100 MB – 1 GB on a Mac. The free scan shows the exact size on your Mac before you change anything.

DeepL 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 DeepL uses; some appear only after you use the matching feature.
What the DeepL cache holds and when clearing helps
Specific to DeepL
The folder in Application Support holds local app data and cache, and it is rebuilt automatically. Your settings and shortcut options are stored separately in a preferences file, which is also rebuilt automatically. Clearing the cache can help when the app feels slow, shows stale results, or when you need space back, since the typical size of its data is 100 MB – 1 GB. Clearing it is a fix for the app's local state, not a way to change your account.
What happens after you clear the DeepL cache
The cache is rebuilt automatically the next time you open the app, so the first start may be slower than usual. Glossaries and DeepL Pro features are tied to your account rather than to this folder. The global translation shortcut needs Accessibility permission, which the cache does not control, so check that permission if the shortcut stops responding. Folders you remove go to the Trash, where you can restore them until the Trash is emptied.
