---------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Clear netbeans cache
Key: NETBEANS-514
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-514
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 8.2, 9.0, Next
Reporter: Victor Williams Stafusa da Silva
As discussed in the dev mailing list, it would be a nice feature if there was
an easy and safe way to purge netbeans cache inside the ide. Either by an user
action or preferably when the ide opens or exit.
After some years of usage, the netbeans cache might grow to consume a lot of
disk space, most of it is very old useless data.
Further, when the cache gets somehow corrupted, the median user has simply no
way to fix it.
Also, the cache and configurations file are very hidden from the user
interaction. In windows, they are located inside the
C:\Users\<your-user>\AppData\Local\Netbeans and
C:\Users\<your-user>\AppData\Roaming\Netbeans folders, considering that AppData
is a hidden folder. It would be nice if it was located in a place more
accessible to the median user.
