Apps
Zoom
Zoom stores Chromium-style disk cache entries for embedded web content, image and asset responses, GPUCache files for accelerated rendering, and rotating diagnostic logs for meetings, updates, and sign-in events. These files help the app load web-based panels, render interface elements with the GPU, and record troubleshooting details, but they can become stale after app or driver updates and grow unexpectedly over time. Kudu removes Zoom's disposable Cache, GPUCache, and log files while leaving your account, settings, contacts, chat history, and recordings alone.
Why clean Zoom?
- Stale Chromium disk cache entries can leave Zoom showing broken sign-in pages or blank embedded web panels until the cached assets are rebuilt
- Old GPUCache data from a graphics driver update can invalidate accelerated rendering and cause black windows, flickering controls, or a blank meeting preview
- Corrupted cached images and web assets can make profile photos, meeting banners, or in-app help content fail to load even when your connection is fine
- Accumulated logs from repeated meetings, crashes, and reconnect attempts can consume hundreds of megabytes and show up as unexplained app data growth
- Bad cache state after a Zoom app update can cause a slow first launch, missing UI elements, or repeated reloading of the Home and Meetings tabs
- Oversized cache folders increase disk churn during startup and can make Zoom feel sluggish when opening settings, chat sidebars, or web-based dialogs
