Amazon Games
Amazon Games on Windows stores launcher diagnostics in Data\Logs and keeps its embedded Chromium-based interface data in App\CEFCache. That CEF cache typically includes HTTP disk cache entries, compiled JavaScript and V8 code cache, GPU shader and raster cache files, cookies for the embedded web views, and other temporary browser assets used to render the store, library, sign-in, and promotional pages quickly. Kudu removes the launcher logs and disposable CEF cache files so stale web content and rendering artifacts can be rebuilt, without touching installed games, account data, saved games, or launcher settings.
Why clean Amazon Games?
- Stale CEF HTTP cache entries can leave the store or library showing outdated tiles, missing banners, or pages that never finish loading after the launcher backend changes
- Invalidated V8 code cache after a launcher update can make Amazon Games feel unusually slow on first open, with delayed tab switches and sluggish sign-in screens until the cache is rebuilt
- Old GPU cache data from a graphics driver update can break Chromium rendering paths, causing blank panels, black windows, flickering artwork, or broken hardware-accelerated scrolling
- Corrupted cached web assets can trap the launcher in a sign-in loop or produce partially rendered account pages even though your credentials and account itself are fine
- Accumulated launcher logs grow quietly over time and waste SSD space, especially on systems where repeated startup, download, or webview errors are being recorded
- An oversized CEF cache can make the embedded store reuse bad local copies of scripts and images, leading to missing game art, unresponsive buttons, or checkout pages that fail to render correctly
