Changelog 26.3.2024

- There is 4 different scripts for 4 different ecosystems: Steam MSFS cache, Store MSFS cache, Nvidia Shader cache, AMD shader cache

- edited pop up windows text, no more error´s. Only feedback of the process.

- removed reading usercfg.opt from MSFS cache scripts. It didnt just work, because packages can be elsewhere, but cache folder are allways in same locations.

- instuctions how to add own sources to the scipts

Nice idea. Does this also cover the Disc Cleanup for Windows recommended step? 

Yes that is also covered. Just tested. It is the folder  C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache

I have updated this addon to be 2024 combatible. Also updated Nvidia driver cache locations.

Congratulations on the release. As a hobby prgrammer myself, I know what a pain it is to make a UI.. it's my least favorite thing, but so important!
