How to Clear the Roblox Cache
Checked against how Roblox works on .
Roblox caches textures, sounds and app data to load faster. When the cache corrupts you get grey textures, endless loading or crashes — clearing it is safe and fixes a surprising number of problems.
1. Windows
Close Roblox. Press Win+R, type %localappdata%\Roblox and delete the Cache folder inside it — this is the path Roblox itself points people at. For a deeper clean, delete the whole Roblox folder before reinstalling. Roblox rebuilds everything on next launch.
2. Mac
Quit Roblox, then in Finder use Go > Go to Folder and open ~/Library/Caches. Delete the folders beginning com.roblox — the player and Studio each have their own. If problems persist, Roblox also suggests emptying ~/Library/Logs/Roblox and deleting the com.roblox files in ~/Library/Preferences.
3. iOS and Android
On Android: long-press the Roblox app > App info > Storage > Clear cache (not Clear data — that logs you out). On iOS there is no cache button; deleting and reinstalling the app has the same effect.
4. Restart and test
Launch Roblox again. First load is slower while the cache rebuilds — that is expected. Your account, items and settings are untouched.
Common questions
No. Items live on your account on Roblox’s servers. The cache is only local copies of textures and sounds.
Only when something is wrong. There is no benefit to clearing a healthy cache — it just makes the next launch slower.
