qmlcache at Linux Mint 19.3

Hi,
I am using cura 4.5.0 as appimage on a mint system.
I found out that the qmlcache folder is roughly 4GB big.

Is it allowed to delete those qmlc files?

Yes

Ok THX.

 

I am a little bit scared, but I'll do it 🙂

 

What about the "old" folders like 2.7 or 3.3 or 4.0 and many more at home/use/.cura

 

May I kick them out as well?

The QMLCache is somtehing that is automatically generated. This is mostly to speed up startup of Cura (QML is what we use to describe the interface. These are compiled. So instead of doing that every time cura starts, it caches some results). So clearing that should have a bit of impact on the next startup but that's it.

The old folders can safely be deleted, they are ignored by the current version of Cura. The main reason those files are still there is because there are quite a few people that want to run multiple versions of Cura side by side.

Me too.  I have 1.6GB and 44,000 files in that folder.  Trying to clean up some space this morning and this was the second thing I found.
