How to Clear Discord Cache?

[Daisyfrank]

I'm having some issues with Discord running slowly and I think it might be due to cached files. Can anyone explain how to clear the Discord cache safely without affecting my chats or settings?

To clear the Discord cache, close the application, then delete cache folders from:
Windows: %AppData%\\discord\\Cache, Code Cache, GPUCache
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/discord/Cache
Restart Discord afterwards.

To clear the cache of Discord, you do not lose chats or settings, but goes out of Discord entirely, after which it goes to a folder on your computer called the cache. On windows, open Win + R, enter the path as C:\Users percentage appdata percentage disord percentage cache percentage and delete everything in the folder. In Mac, delete the contents at the path of application support at discord/Cache. Then, start Discord again - the first time it could work slower, but it tends to resolve the performance problems. Your messages and environments will be maintained.
