![]() Starting in Lion, Apple chose to hide the Library folder from users. If you’re using a pre-Lion version of OS X you can simply browse to this folder in Finder.įrom the Finder bar Go –> Library –> Caches will get you where you need to be. OS X stores cashed application data in the ~/Library/Caches folder. Clearing out the Chrome application cache will often resolve the issue. Although it should prompt to ask if you want to try loading the page that’s causing the issue, sometimes this doesn’t happen and the browser gets stuck in a loop. Occasionally, and especially with beta versions of Chrome, the browser will error out on a webpage that is trying to load from the cache. But sometimes a problem with a piece of cached information or a software bug can have the opposite effect – causing applications to load slowly or even crash.Īn example of when you might need to delete an application cache is Google Chrome getting stuck in a re-launch loop. In general, caching is a good thing – it makes applications faster. If you’re struggling with a crashing Mac app or just trying to clean-up the remnants of an uninstalled program, deleting application caches can be a good place to start.Īpplication caches are used by both native and third-party applications to store temporary information (like a recently visited webpage) and speed up load times.
