Todoist
Todoist’s desktop app is built on Electron and stores several Chromium caches on disk to speed up loading its web-based interface. Those files include HTTP disk cache entries in Cache_Data for downloaded app assets and API responses, V8 code cache files for precompiled JavaScript, and GPUCache data for rendered content and accelerated drawing; when they go stale, users can see slow launches, blank panes, or glitchy rendering. Kudu removes only these disposable cache folders so Todoist can rebuild them, without touching your tasks, projects, account data, or saved settings.
Why clean Todoist?
- Corrupted HTTP cache entries in Cache_Data can leave Todoist showing an outdated shell or partially loaded sidebar, with missing labels, blank task lists, or a window that never finishes refreshing
- Invalidated V8 code cache after a Todoist desktop update can make the first launch unusually slow or leave the app stuck on a white screen until the JavaScript cache is rebuilt
- Stale cached API responses and bundled assets can cause the desktop app to keep showing old project names, completed tasks, or repeated sync spinners even after the service data has changed
- GPUCache files tied to an older graphics driver can become invalid after a driver update, causing flickering text, black areas, or sluggish scrolling until Chromium regenerates the cache
- Oversized Electron cache folders waste disk space over time because Todoist repeatedly stores downloaded interface assets and response data that are safe to recreate
- Broken cached frontend resources can trigger sign-in loops or a nonresponsive main view where buttons click but nothing updates, because the app is loading stale local copies instead of fresh assets
