Loom
Loom’s desktop recorder is built on Electron, so it stores Chromium-style browser cache files, V8 code cache data, and GPU cache entries to speed up loading the workspace, recorder UI, thumbnails, and embedded web content. Those files can become stale after Loom app updates, Chromium runtime changes, or graphics driver changes, leading to launch delays, blank interface elements, or rendering glitches. Kudu removes Loom’s Cache_Data, Code Cache, and GPUCache folders while leaving recordings, account sign-in, settings, and saved videos untouched.
Why clean Loom?
- Invalidated Electron V8 code cache after a Loom update can make the app hang on a slow first launch or show a delayed recorder window until bytecode rebuilds
- Corrupted Chromium disk cache entries can cause Loom Home to load with missing thumbnails, blank library cards, or profile images that never finish rendering
- Stale cached web assets may leave the recorder or share UI stuck on an older interface version, with buttons that misalign or do nothing until fresh files are downloaded
- GPUCache data from a previous graphics driver version can be rejected by Chromium, causing black areas, flickering overlays, or a blank camera preview until the shader cache is recreated
- An oversized Cache_Data folder can waste hundreds of megabytes on temporary media and web responses, which users notice as Loom taking up more disk space than expected
- Broken cached authentication or API response assets can leave Loom spinning on loading screens or repeatedly failing to populate the video library even though the account itself is intact
