Over time, cached files from applications like Roblox can accumulate on your Windows 11 PC, potentially causing issues like slower load times, unexpected crashes, or lag during gameplay. Clearing the Roblox cache can help improve performance and provide a smoother gaming experience.
Clear the Roblox desktop app cache
While Roblox doesn't provide a built-in option to clear its cache, you can manually remove the cached files by following these steps.
Step 1: Open the Run dialog box on your PC by pressing the Windows
+ R
keys simultaneously.
Step 2: In the Run dialog box, type %temp%
and press the Enter
key.
Step 3: Once the Temp folder opens, select all files by pressing Ctrl
+ A
. Delete all the selected files by clicking the 'Delete' icon or pressing the Delete
key on your keyboard.
Step 4: If prompted for administrator permission to delete some files or folders, click 'Continue' to proceed with the deletion.
Step 5: Open the Run dialog box again by pressing Windows
+ R
. This time, type %localappdata%
and press Enter
.
Step 6: In the Local App Data folder, locate and open the 'Roblox' folder.
Step 7: Within the 'Roblox' folder, open the 'Versions' folder.
Step 8: Inside the 'Versions' folder, open both the 'Cache' and 'Logs' folders one at a time. In each folder, select all files by pressing Ctrl
+ A
and delete them. Be careful not to delete the folders themselves—only the files inside them.
Step 9: Next, open the Recycle Bin on your desktop, and empty it to permanently delete the cache files from your PC.
Step 10: Finally, restart your computer to complete the process of clearing the Roblox desktop app cache.
