Another way to clear your cache

Another way to clear your cache

Sometimes I’ll want to clear my cache before I even start IMVU. Here’s a way to do it that you’ll love.

  1. Right-click on your Windows desktop, select New > Text Document.
  2. Change the name to clear-cache. It will ask if you want to change your file extension. Choose Yes.
  3. Right-click the icon and select Edit. It should open a blank document in Notepad.
  4. Copy the text below and paste it into Notepad: 
    cd %APPDATA%\IMVU
rd /S /Q HttpCache
  5. Save the file and close it.
  6. Rename the file so it has a .BAT extension. It will prompt you if you really want to do it. Answer: Yes.
  7. Now every time you double-click that icon, it will clear out your cache!

The first line has the command “cd” which changes the directory to where the IMVU cache is located. The second line has the command “rd” with removes a directory. It has the switches /S (recursive delete) and /Q (don’t confirm, just do it), and HttpCache is the directory where your cache is located.
