I use the Nvidia App to delete the cache now. works fine .

Last week in one morning I had two error boxes pop up in 2020 with graphics card errors and then the only way out was to be crashed back to desktop. It was strange as it has been years (well it seems like it - definitely a LONG time) since I have even had a stutter, micro stutter or a crash to desktop.

I was just go to all the cache locations and delete them all manually when I remembered had previously downloaded this tool but never had the need to use it.

I ran it - and all is back to normal - totally fluid in 4K, no CTD, no stutters, no micro stutters.
So from me a 5 Star review!

Another cache removal tool... this one does a bit more and has a back up feature before cleaning files.....

It can wipe your controller and camera settings if you select the option.... so be careful of your selection.

I have only just downloaded and tried this in the past day or two so have no real testing or experience with it..... some negative comments on the flightsim.to download page though.

Maybe only need to select option 1 and 2 ... ?

Nvidia DX cache is automatically cleared with every install of the GPU driver. Not sure if using DiskClean to clear out the other generic DX cache matters, but I do it anyway.

This. There is absolutely no need to get a third party app to do this as well.

DDU Uninstaller has an option to clear nvidia cache.
