Hi! I’m running out of space in my disk drive and looking into deleting cache files. I found that one the files that’s taking up space are these:

I dont want to cause any issues so I wanted to ask the experts, would it be alright to delete these files?

Probably don’t want to do this while a client is running, but they’re otherwise safe to delete. Ignition will re-download what it needs the next time a client opens. Which means you really won’t save much space unless the cache is clogged with outdated files.
