How Do I Get to the IMVU Cache - 2019

How Do I Get to the IMVU Cache - 2019


Although avatars are the mainstay of the IMVU application, they clog the IMVU system. Each avatar requires lots of different image files. Each file component is cached or hidden away, so when the Computer requests the data in the future, it can be gathered faster. A large cache can cause the application not to operate correctly or to be slower than normal. Clearing the IMVU cache will remove these unnecessary files from the application. The cache can be cleared in Windows or the IMVU client.

Working with IMVU's Previewer tool to produce products made in a variety of ways has its own inherent issues that the content creator or developer needs to be both aware of and work around so that items can be successfully published into the virtual catalog for sale to the user base. The following is a resource of hints and tips for IMVU developers of all levels.

Product assembly in Create Mode tends to generate a lot of data either directly as the Creator works (saving files and projects), or as a result, if the Client is automatically downloading the appropriate files for derivation which can amount to a lot of data if the derivation chain is particularly long.
Because the Client doe not removes this data automatically (doing so would mean Creators are losing work) over time it builds, where it eventually affects Client performance. When this happens, it typically means clearing out the folder where this data is stored.

As briefly noted above, when chatting in IMVU Scene and Avatar data is downloaded and stored locally. Over time this can contain hundreds or thousands of files ranging from a few megabytes to several gigabytes if left unchecked.
When this happens, IMVU can slow down as a result of file checks run by IMVU (checking files against master copies to see if any changes have been made). Periodically this temporary data needs to be removed using Clear IMVU cache.

How to Access the Recycle Bin from the D Drive?

Every hard drive contains a Recycle Bin, a hidden folder on the drive. By default, hidden folders are appropriately hidden from view within Windows. To access the Recycle Bin, you first need to change your Windows settings to enable the viewing of hidden folders. Once you've done this, the Recycle Bin works like any other folder.

Follow the to Access the Recycle Bin from the D Drive for IMVU:-
  1. Click the "Start" orb and select Computer. This opens Windows Explorer.
  2. Click Tools on the top menu bar, and select "Folder options
  3. Click the View tab and select "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" under the sub-menu "Hidden files and folders." Click "Apply" and "OK."
  4. Click the D drive in the left-hand panel of Windows Explorer.
  5. Double-click $RECYCLE.BIN in the right-hand panel.
  6. Double-click Recycle Bin in the right-hand panel to access your D drive's Recycle Bin.

How to Create Mode & Cached Files?

Product assembly in Create Mode tends to generate a lot of data either directly as the Creator works (saving files and projects), or as a result, if the Client is automatically downloading the appropriate files for derivation - which can amount to a lot of data if the derivation chain is particularly long.
Because the Client doe not removes this data automatically (doing so would mean Creators are losing work) over time it builds, where it eventually affects Client performance. When this happens, it typically means clearing out the folder where this data is stored.
The 'Creator Mode Cache' is not the same as the Chat Client Cache discussed below. Although both act as local temporary storage, they allow IMVU to perform completely independent functions irrespective of the data held in either location.

Make sure the Client is shut down and not running in the background when doing this. Additionally, files automatically downloaded by IMVU are referenced by their PID - "Product 123456" for example - if the project needs to be or is edited at some point in the future, the Client will download the files again as necessary.
