How do I clear the cache in NetBeans 8.0 on OSX Mavericks?
Previous posts have suggested that I remove the files under
/home/{user}/.netbeans/7.4/var/filehistory
and/home/{user}/.netbeans/7.4/var/log
but the hidden folder .netbeans
appears to be absent on my computer. Has it moved?
Go to Netbeans > About and at the bottom you can find the Cache directory. Copy that directory, command + shift + g in the finder, paste the directory and BOOM you're there.
Clean the NetBeans cache You can see the path of NetBeans cache in the NetBeans menu. It will appear a page with the logo of Apache NetBeans with some system information. The User directory contains your configuration (e.g. open projects). The Cache directory contains the data that you can delete.
Go to Control Panel à Add or Remove Programs, select Apache NetBeans 12.1 and click Uninstall. Follow the steps of the uninstaller. It will delete NetBeans installation directory as well as shortcuts on desktop and Start menu.
Check menue NetBeans > About
menu, it shows path to cache dir. The paths you posted look like for Linux, on Mac it is (at least with recent versions of NetBeans) something like
/Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Caches/NetBeans/8.0/
