It's a cache. It's meant to be deleted from time to time, especially if the application is not good at it by itself.
So simply delete the folder. Anything electron will need after that will be re-downloaded when the application is run again.
You should delete the contents of the cache folder instead of the folder itself as sadly some apps will break pretty spectacularly if they can't find the folder itself. Otherwise you're entirely correct
Thank you.
General trick for unknowns like this, you can rename a folder, open the applications. If they work, it is likely safe to delete that folder. If not, you rename that folder back. A simple way to test removing something non-destructively.
folder.old
then it's all fun and games till you've been fucking with it for 3 hours and you get to folder.old.old.old.old.old
I've been there.
I always do folder.save, then folder.oldsave, then folder.oldoldsave. It isn't any better but it is slightly different
No love for folder.bak?
.bak gang rise up.
Nice trick, thanks.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
