How to Clean Electron Cache

sandayle@iusearchlinux.fyi to Linux@lemmy.ml – 18 points –

Electron folder under /home/cache has reached 1.3GB.

I want to clean it but I don't know how or would be wrong?

Is there a command like yarn cache clean?

General trick for unknowns like this, you can rename a folder, open the applications. If they work, it is likely safe to delete that folder. If not, you rename that folder back. A simple way to test removing something non-destructively.

folder.old

then it's all fun and games till you've been fucking with it for 3 hours and you get to folder.old.old.old.old.old
