Delete Cached Twitter Images On Your Mac For More Disk Space

Delete Cached Twitter Images On Your Mac For More Disk Space

If you use the Twitter app on your Mac, images get cached on your hard drive. James Powell from Mac Tricks & Tips shows you how to find the cache and clear it out, so you can reclaim that storage space.

Powell, who uses CleanMyMac, found he had 2GB of profile images cached there even after he ran his cleanup tool. These images are profile images, so the amount of room actually being taken up will relate to how often your followers change their picture, and how many people you follow.

Just open up the Finder, head to the Go menu, and choose Go to Folder. From there, type the following and press enter:

~/Library/Containers/com.twitter.twitter-mac/Data/Library/Caches/com.atebits.tweetie.profile-images<br>

Delete the contents of that folder to clear the cache.

It may not seem like a lot of space, but if you’re operating on an SSD, or you just like to keep your machine clean, check the link and get that cache cleared out.
