Tor Browser cache folders you can clear

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

What the Tor Browser cache holds

Specific to Tor Browser

This app stores bookmarks, Tor settings, and bridges in a dedicated profile folder. It does not retain browsing history or cookies after you close the window. Clearing space helps only if you need to reset configuration or free disk room. The data contains your personal bookmarks and network preferences.

What happens after you clear the Tor Browser cache

The app rebuilds its profile structure upon the next launch. You will lose custom bookmarks and bridge configurations, requiring re-entry. Initial startup may take slightly longer while the system recreates necessary files. Your downloaded documents remain untouched on your Mac.
