## What is it?

Compiled JavaScript that Electron and Chromium-based apps save in a Code Cache folder so they start faster, next to GPUCache and Local Storage in the app’s Application Support folder.

## What happens if you delete it?

Recreated at the next launch; the app compiles its code again and starts a little slower once.

## How to remove it properly

Quit the app, then move its `Code Cache` folder in `~/Library/Application Support/<App>` to the Trash.

## Before you delete it

Delete only the Code Cache folder: Local Storage and IndexedDB next to it can hold app data and logins.
