Caches are files that your Mac creates when you browse websites and use applications. They are supposed to [speed up your Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/speed-up-mac-monterey).

In this article, we'll first explain what cache is on your Mac, why you should clear it, and then give you details on how to clear caches from macOS, applications, and browsers.

<toc></toc>

## What is Cache on Mac?

A cache is a type of temporary memory used to collect temporary data to help your system, browser, and applications load faster in the future. For example, when you browse a website, your browser downloads HTML files, images, videos, Java scripts, etc. and stores them in a cache folder. Next time you visit the site again, your browser will load the data through the stored cache files without connecting to the network. 

Common cache files include system cache, application cache, and browser cache.

## Why Should You Clear Cache on Mac?

Caches can speed things up on your Mac. However, too many of them will not only take up a lot of your valuable storage space but also degrade your Mac performance. Therefore, it is necessary for you to clean them once in a while. Deleting the cache has many benefits, such as [freeing up storage space](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-space-on-mac), correcting webpage errors, preventing tracking by malware and third-party software, forcibly deleting outdated content in applications, and so on.

## How to Clear Application Cache on Mac

Application caches are stored in the user's library folder. Although they take up much more storage space than the system cache, there is still no need to clear them unless you are experiencing application errors or are running out of storage space. If you do want to clear the application cache, follow the steps below.

1. Open a Finder window and press Shift + Command + G to open Go to Folder window.
2. Type ~/Library/Caches in the blank box, click the Go button, and you will see the caches of all applications.
3. Find the folder of the app whose cache you want to delete.
