## What is it?

Selenium Manager, built into recent Selenium releases, automatically downloads browser drivers such as chromedriver and geckodriver, and sometimes whole test browsers (Chrome for Testing, Firefox), into `~/.cache/selenium`. Old versions accumulate as browsers update. Typically a few hundred MB, more when test browsers are included.

## What happens if you delete it?

Selenium Manager downloads the drivers and browsers it needs again the next time a test session starts. Expect a short delay on that first run.

## How to remove it properly

Move the folder to the Trash in Finder (Go › Go to Folder… `~/.cache/selenium`).
