## What is it?

Apps built on Electron or Chromium, such as Notion, Figma, Discord, Postman or VS Code, keep a web cache folder named Cache in their Application Support folder, next to Code Cache and GPUCache. Each usually takes tens to hundreds of MB.

## What happens if you delete it?

Rebuilt the next time the app runs; it may load content slightly slower once. Documents, settings and logins are stored elsewhere.

## How to remove it properly

Quit the app first, then move its `~/Library/Application Support/<App>/Cache` folder to the Trash. Deleting it while the app is open can make the app misbehave until it restarts.
