How to Clean Discord Cache & Code Cache

🟢 100% Safe to Delete Typical Space Reclaimed: 1.5 GB – 6.0 GB

Location & Quick Verdict

%AppData%\discord\Cache and %AppData%\discord\Code Cache

Discord stores a local copy of every video, audio message, GIF, image, and emoji loaded across your servers and direct messages.

Safety confirmation: Deleting this clears disk space immediately. It does NOT delete your chat history, server memberships, or account credentials. Discord simply re-downloads media as you view it.

Manual Cleaning Instructions

  1. 1 Completely exit Discord (right-click the Discord icon in your system tray and select 'Quit Discord').
  2. 2 Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.
  3. 3 Type %appdata%\discord and hit Enter.
  4. 4 Delete the folders named 'Cache', 'Code Cache', and 'GPUCache'.
