How Embedded Chromium (Electron / CEF) Caches Bloated Zoom Workplace WebView Cache & Logs
Modern web browsers and desktop apps built on Electron, Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF), or WebView2 run a full browser storage engine inside %AppData%\Zoom\data\WebviewCache and %AppData%\Zoom\logs. Every inline video preview, animated sticker, PWA offline bundle, and compiled V8 JavaScript script is written into disk-backed Cache_Data, Code Cache, Service Worker CacheStorage, and IndexedDB LevelDB tables without strict disk quotas.
Over months of daily usage, Zoom Workplace WebView Cache & Logs accumulates 0.8 GB – 4.5 GB of expired media blobs and stale Service Worker caches that are never evicted automatically. Clearing these cache subdirectories forces a clean storage state without deleting your saved passwords, active session cookies, bookmarks, or local databases.
