Note that this is NOT the Cache folder. It's the Cache of Service Worker, the path should be AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Service Worker.

Recently I noticed my hard drive is almost full so I want to clean it up. I noticed the while the Cache folder is acceptable (200MB), the cache of Service Worker folder is so big (> 1GB). I tried unregister all the service workers but the cache folder is still there.

Can I safely just delete them from Windows Explorer?

P.s: as a developer, I am amazed by the amount of registered service workers. Most of them are trackers and useless stuff I should have removed before.

I have read this article but it didn't work for me because:

  • I don't want to delete cookies as well, I need them. Unfortunately Chrome/Edge group that into one option.

  • I can't just go to each website to delete individual Service Worker cache.
