## What is it?

`/Users/Shared/UnrealEngine/Launcher/VaultCache` holds assets you downloaded from Fab or the former Unreal Marketplace through the Epic Games Launcher, kept so they can be added to projects. Once added, assets are copied into each project. Packs can be large, from hundreds of MB to tens of GB each.

## What happens if you delete it?

Assets you own can be downloaded again from your Fab library or the launcher’s Vault when you next add them to a project. Assets already in projects are not affected.

## How to remove it properly

Use the Epic Games Launcher to manage vault downloads where it offers that option. Otherwise quit the launcher and move the asset folders you no longer need to the Trash in Finder (Go › Go to Folder… `/Users/Shared/UnrealEngine/Launcher/VaultCache`).

## Before you delete it

Assets that are no longer available on Fab may not be downloadable again.
