ToDesktop Builder
ToDesktop Builder stores several Chromium and Electron runtime caches under its Windows profile so the app can load its interface and project tooling faster between launches. These include HTTP disk cache entries in Cache_Data, V8 Code Cache bytecode, GPUCache data, DawnGraphiteCache and DawnWebGPUCache shader and pipeline artifacts, Shared Dictionary compressed resource caches, plus settled log files from previous runs. Kudu removes only those disposable caches and logs, while leaving your ToDesktop Builder projects, packaged binaries, sessions, app storage, settings, and account data intact.
Why clean ToDesktop Builder?
- Corrupted HTTP cache entries in Cache_Data can make Builder load outdated frontend assets, which shows up as missing UI panels, buttons that do nothing, or a window that never finishes rendering after an update
- Invalidated V8 Code Cache after a ToDesktop Builder or Electron runtime update can cause a noticeably slow first launch, long white-screen startup, or repeated recompilation pauses until the cache is rebuilt
- GPUCache data tied to an older graphics driver can become unusable after a driver update, leading to black or blank areas in the interface, flickering, or sluggish redraws until fresh GPU artifacts are generated
- Stale DawnGraphiteCache or DawnWebGPUCache pipeline data can cause rendering glitches in Chromium-based UI surfaces, including jerky animations, delayed panel painting, or visual corruption when hardware acceleration is enabled
- A bloated Shared Dictionary cache can keep old compressed resources around and waste disk space, while also causing odd partial loads where some interface text or assets appear late or not at all
- Accumulated settled logs from repeated build and packaging sessions can grow surprisingly large, filling the Roaming profile and making it harder to spot current errors when troubleshooting a new Builder failure
- If ToDesktop Builder stores SQLite-backed internal state alongside these caches, page fragmentation can make the file larger and slower to scan over time; VACUUM rewrites the database to compact pages without deleting your saved rows
