## What is it?

DaVinci Resolve’s render cache: clips and effects rendered by Smart or User cache so the timeline plays smoothly, stored in CacheClip folders in the cache location set in Resolve’s settings. It can reach tens of GB on heavy projects.

## What happens if you delete it?

Resolve renders the cache again when you play the timeline; playback of heavy effects is slower until it has. Projects and media are not affected.

## How to remove it properly

In Resolve, with the project open, choose Playback › Delete Render Cache and pick All or Unused. For old projects, quit Resolve and move their CacheClip folders to the Trash.
