Hyper Terminal
Built on Electron, Hyper stores Chromium disk cache entries in Cache/Cache_Data for downloaded web assets used by its renderer, V8 code cache files in Code Cache to speed up JavaScript startup, and GPUCache data for accelerated text and canvas rendering. Those files are disposable performance caches rather than terminal sessions, profiles, or shell history, and Kudu removes the stale disk cache, compiled script cache, and GPU cache that can accumulate or become invalid after app and driver changes.
Why clean Hyper Terminal?
- Invalidated V8 bytecode after a Hyper or plugin update can make the window open slowly or feel stuck on a blank frame until the code cache rebuilds
- Corrupted Chromium disk cache entries can leave Hyper showing an empty window, missing UI elements, or a spinner while the renderer retries failed asset loads
- Stale GPUCache data from a graphics driver update can break accelerated rendering, causing black windows, flickering text, or lag when resizing the terminal
- A bloated Cache_Data folder keeps old web assets and responses around, wasting disk space and making Hyper rebuild its interface from inconsistent cached resources
- Theme and plugin front-end assets cached from an older release can conflict with newer code, leading to broken panes, unresponsive tabs, or visual glitches in the UI
- If Hyper crashes during a write, partially written cache records can trigger repeated slow launches or renderer instability until the disposable cache is cleared
