How To Clear Cache On Mac

Chris Muniu April 8, 2022

Why would you want to clear Cache on your Mac? Your Mac, like any electronic device (e.g. iPhone) you have, stores cache files in the memory and these are designed to make for a better user experience. Cache files are temporary files used by the Mac to operate faster.

Sometimes there might be too many cache files on your Mac that they cause lagging or even deadlocks which in turn make your Mac hang. Once in a while, it’s a good idea to delete these cache files from your mrmory.

We clear cache on our Macs in the hope that conflicts will seize and ultimately out machines will run faster and smoother.
