Apps
1Password
Built on Electron, 1Password keeps Chromium disk cache entries in Cache_Data for web content used by the desktop app, along with V8 code cache files that speed up JavaScript startup and a GPU cache that stores compiled rendering data. Those caches help the app load vault views, account UI, and embedded web flows faster, but they can become stale after app or graphics driver changes. Kudu removes only these temporary cache files so 1Password can rebuild them cleanly without touching vault data, accounts, settings, or saved passwords.
Why clean 1Password?
- Invalidated V8 code cache after a 1Password app update can make the first launch unusually slow or leave parts of the interface loading longer than normal until the cache is rebuilt
- Corrupted Chromium disk cache entries in Cache_Data can cause sign-in pages, account switching screens, or item details to render incompletely, show outdated content, or stay blank
- Stale GPU cache data from a graphics driver update can break Electron rendering, leading to black windows, flickering panels, or missing icons until the GPU cache is regenerated
- An oversized Cache_Data folder can waste disk space because old HTTP resources and app web assets accumulate even though they are only temporary copies
- Bad cached frontend assets can leave the sidebar, vault list, or settings view visually inconsistent after an update, with text and controls appearing only after a restart
- If 1Password feels fine online but repeatedly reloads the same screens or stalls while drawing the interface, clearing its local Chromium caches often removes the damaged files causing the loop
