ToDesktop Builder
Built on Electron, ToDesktop Builder stores Chromium disk cache entries, V8 code cache, GPUCache data, Dawn Graphite and WebGPU shader caches, Shared Dictionary network compression data, and rolling log files under its Windows profile. These files speed up the builder UI, embedded web content, and GPU-accelerated rendering, but they can become stale after app or graphics-driver updates and leave behind unneeded temporary data. Kudu removes only those disposable caches and settled logs, while preserving projects, packaged app binaries, sessions, local storage, settings, and account data.
Why clean ToDesktop Builder?
- Invalidated Electron V8 code cache after a ToDesktop Builder update can make the next launch unusually slow or leave parts of the interface loading later than expected until bytecode is rebuilt
- Stale Chromium Cache_Data entries can keep serving outdated web assets in the builder UI, showing old banners, missing style fixes, or pages that do not reflect recent backend changes
- GPUCache data from a previous graphics driver version can be rejected after a driver update, causing flickering panels, black areas, or sluggish redraws in hardware-accelerated views
- Out-of-date Dawn Graphite or WebGPU shader caches can trigger rendering glitches in Chromium-based surfaces, with symptoms like blank previews, stutter when opening screens, or temporary freezes while shaders recompile
- Corrupted Shared Dictionary cache content can break compressed network responses, leading to partial page loads, unexpected sign-in loops, or interface sections that never finish rendering
- Large accumulated Chromium disk cache and logs can consume hundreds of megabytes over time, which users notice as growing AppData usage even though no new projects or build artifacts were added
- Settled logs can keep old crash traces and verbose diagnostics long after the issue is gone, making support cleanup harder and leaving repeated startup or network errors buried under stale entries
