The entire folder is about 600MB in total. These files dated back to mid last year and range from a few hundred bytes to a few hundred kilobytes. On my main workhorse MacBook Pro there was a whopping 124,000 files.
I had a look-see into that folder, and there's a lot of files in there. On Windows they live at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Code Cache\Js, while on macOS they're at ~/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/Js. I dug around on both Windows and macOS and found the files in question. However, I got talking to a few people and discovered something rather strange - Chrome doesn't offer a simple way to delete these files. I was a bit skeptical about this since I've been regularly clearing my browser's cache, so this shouldn't be an issue. Specifically, the way it caches JavaScript files that it comes across while you're browsing. There are plenty of good browsers out there if Chrome isn't floating your boat anymore.īut a few people got in touch to say that the problem with Chrome is the caching. The other day I wrote about how it might be time to shift away from Google Chrome if you're finding that it's getting slow and sluggish.
