Termius

Termius stores several Electron runtime caches on disk to speed up its interface, remote host views, and hardware-accelerated rendering. These folders typically contain Chromium HTTP disk cache entries in Cache_Data, V8 bytecode and JavaScript compilation artifacts in Code Cache, and GPU shader or rendering data in GPUCache created while drawing terminal windows and UI elements. Kudu removes only those temporary cache files so Termius can rebuild them cleanly, without touching your saved hosts, snippets, credentials, account data, or settings.

Why it matters

Why clean Termius?

  • Corrupted Chromium disk cache entries can make the Termius interface load partial assets, leaving blank panes, missing icons, or sections that never finish rendering
  • Invalidated V8 bytecode after a Termius update can cause a noticeably slow first launch, laggy navigation between hosts, or repeated pauses while the app recompiles scripts
  • Stale GPUCache data from a graphics driver update can break Electron's accelerated rendering, showing black terminal areas, flickering text, or glitches when resizing the window
  • Oversized Cache_Data contents can consume hundreds of megabytes over time, especially on systems where Termius stays open for long periods and repeatedly refreshes remote session views
  • Bad cached web resources can cause the login or sync screens to behave inconsistently, such as spinners that never stop or account pages that render incorrectly until the cache is rebuilt
  • Old shader blobs in GPUCache can cause stutter when opening a terminal tab or switching between sessions because Electron keeps trying to reuse rendering data compiled for a different environment
