How to Rid Your Computer of Temporary Files

Deleting Temporary Cache Files (Mac)

1. 
   Click the "Finder" icon to open the Finder. Mac's search app, the Finder, resembles a blue face.
2. 
   Click the "Go" tap at the top of your screen. This should be to the right of the "Edit" tab.
3. 
   Click "Go to Folder". This should be toward the bottom of the "Go" menu. Doing so will prompt you to enter a destination.
4. 
   Type "~/Library/Caches" into the text field. Exclude the quotation marks. The "Caches" folder is where your Mac's temporary files are stored.^{[1] X Research source}

   1. Click "Go" when you're finished.
   2. If you want to clear all temporary files on your Mac, you should also delete the contents of "~/Library/Logs" when you finish deleting the Cache folder contents.
5. 
   Review the contents of the Cache folder. Since everything here is a temporary copy, you can delete these files without repercussions.
6. 
   Select a folder, then hold ⌘ Command and tap A. This will select your Cache folder's contents.
7. 
   Hold Ctrl and click a file. This prompts a menu.

   1. If your Mac's mouse has right-click functionality, just right-click (or two-finger click) the file.
8. 
   Click "Move to Trash". This will delete your Mac's temporary file cache!
