Todoist
Todoist’s desktop app is built on Electron, so it stores Chromium-style disk cache files in Cache_Data, compiled V8 code in Code Cache, and GPU-rendering artifacts in GPUCache to speed up loading the task interface, icons, and web content. Those caches can become stale after app or graphics-driver changes, leading to blank panes, slow startup, or rendering glitches even though your projects and account data are still intact. Kudu removes only these disposable cache files so Todoist can rebuild them cleanly on the next launch without touching tasks, settings, or saved sign-in details.
Why clean Todoist?
- Outdated Electron Code Cache files after a Todoist update can force bad or mismatched V8 bytecode, which shows up as a slow first launch, a white window, or interface elements that do not finish loading
- Corrupted Cache_Data entries can leave Todoist serving stale bundled web assets, causing missing sidebar icons, incomplete task lists, or a spinner that never resolves after sign-in
- A graphics-driver update can invalidate GPUCache shader and render data, leading to flickering panels, black rectangles, or choppy scrolling until Chromium rebuilds the cache
- An oversized Chromium disk cache keeps old responses and image assets around longer than needed, which wastes disk space and can make the desktop app feel oddly inconsistent compared with the current web version
- Broken cached resources can interfere with Todoist’s offline-to-online app shell loading, so the window opens but content appears partially blank until the cache is cleared and fetched again
- Removing these caches is a safe reset for display and startup problems because Todoist recreates them automatically, while your tasks, projects, labels, and account information remain untouched
