Discord clean up

[Vonrd]

Discord kept crashing on me tonight. Google brought up these recommendations:

• In Discord, navigate to User Settings and click on it. In the left pane, scroll down to Appearance. Then in the right pane, scroll down to Hardware Acceleration and make sure it's turned off.

• Delete Discord app data. Press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then type %AppData%. Go to C:\Users\Whoever you are \AppData\Roaming\discord\Cache\Cache_Data and delete everything in there. It was HUGE...  about 1.8TB (yes, I'm exaggerating, but it was very large) .

I'm hoping that this works. Due to the enormous size of the Discord cache, I'm hopeful and think that it should be a regular part of housekeeping.

BTW. No more crashing. I'm going to try to empty the cache weekly.

It's been 12 days since I deleted Discord Cache Data and it's already back up to 300 MB. Just sayin'...

I just checked my Discord Cache_Data and my folder is 18 mb large, I have never looked at it before now, which makes me wonder why mine is so small, while Vonrd's is so large?

It's not the size of your cache, it's the way you use it.
