NAME

swww-clear-cache

SYNOPSIS

swww clear-cache

OPTIONS

-h, --help

DESCRIPTION

Deletes the `swww` cache directory.

The cache resides at $XDG_CACHE_HOME/swww or $HOME/.cache/swww if $XDG_CACHE_HOME does not exist. For each monitor, there will be a file in those locations corresponding to the current image/animation being displayed.

Furthermore, the cache will keep preprocessed versions of `gif`s. So, if you load a large `gif`, you would have to pay the price for its processing the first time.

Note that `swww` will automatically delete any preprocessed animation created with a previous version of `swww` from the cache.
