Where are the Assemblies Located for Installed Nuget Packages When Using .Net Core?

Question

I don't seem to be able to find the actual *.dll files. There's a whole lot of references to them, but none appear to have a file path.

Answer 1

On Windows, you will find nuget packages and corresponding dll at this location C:\Users\%username%\.nuget\packages

For managing nuget cache refer this article.

On windows you need to download the nuget command line tool from here.

Open a command prompt with directory to which nuget.exe was downloaded on your machine.

You can list the local caches with this command:

nuget locals all -list

You can clear all caches with this command:

nuget locals all -clear
