Overwolf / CurseForge
Overwolf’s in-game overlay and CurseForge’s mod browsing UI rely on an embedded Chromium-based runtime that writes HTTP browser cache files, image cache entries, and accumulated diagnostic logs under the Overwolf profile in LocalAppData. Those files speed up web views for ads, app panels, mod thumbnails, and embedded pages, but stale cached responses and oversized log folders can leave the client showing outdated content or taking longer to open. Kudu removes Overwolf log files and BrowserCache data while leaving installed mods, game profiles, account sign-in, and app settings untouched.
Why clean Overwolf / CurseForge?
- Stale Chromium HTTP cache entries can keep CurseForge mod pages or thumbnails from refreshing, so you see outdated project descriptions, broken images, or old file metadata until the cache is rebuilt
- Corrupted browser cache files in Overwolf’s embedded web views can make the home page, app store, or CurseForge tabs load as blank panels, spin indefinitely, or partially render
- An oversized BrowserCache slows startup and navigation because the client has to scan and evict old cached responses, which shows up as sluggish tab switching and delayed page loads
- Accumulated Overwolf logs grow continuously during overlay use, app installs, and game event hooks, wasting disk space and making LocalAppData unexpectedly large
- After Overwolf or CurseForge updates, cached web assets from the previous build can mismatch the current frontend, causing missing buttons, misaligned UI, or pages that fail to respond correctly
- Repeated cache write failures or bad cached responses can trigger repeated reload attempts in embedded pages, which users notice as flickering panels, repeated loading spinners, or intermittent content failures
