Clear cache on disk in Visual Studio Code

Question

~/.config/Code folder has 2 big folders:

313mb   ./Cache
193mb   ./CachedData

How can these be safely cleared once in a while? (eg. before making a backup)

Will simply deleting them cause any issue?

Answer 1

Yes. VSCode does it every 8 dyas or 3 months depending on the version. I've manually cleared mine before backups without any issues.

Cache, CachedData taking up quite some disk space #29960
