Clear FiveM cache: How to improve performance

You probably know it: FiveM is no longer running smoothly, it is jerking, or you have strange errors?

No stress, this is normal.

One of the easiest and most effective tricks to get your game running smoothly again is to clear the FiveM cache.

I'll show you how it's done.

Why clear the FiveM cache?

In short: Your FiveM stores temporary data in a cache.

If too much garbage accumulates there, it can cause problems.

Clearing the cache is like restarting your game.

It may help if you:

• stuttering or lagging.
• graphic errors.
• Having trouble connecting to servers.
• General problems occur in the game.

Instructions: How to clear your FiveM cache

Ok, enough chatting, let's clear the cache!

This can be done in just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Find your FiveM folder

Don't panic, it's easy.

Here are the steps:

1. Right-click the FiveM icon on your desktop.
2. Select “Open file path”.

This will take you directly to the correct folder.

Step 2: Go to the “FiveM Application Data”

Now you are almost there.

In the window that opens, double-click the “FiveM Application Data” folder.

This is where the important data is located.

Step 3: Navigate to the “data” folder

In the “FiveM Application Data” folder, look for the “data” folder.

That is our goal.

Step 4: Clear the cache – but do it right!

Attention: Here comes the most important part.

In the “data” folder you will find many folders.

Delete all these folders, except the “game-storage” folder.

This step will clear your cache and fix many errors.

Step 5: Start FiveM and start playing

Complete!

Now open FiveM and reconnect to your favorite server.

Your game should now run more smoothly again.

Why clear the cache regularly?

Clearing the cache regularly is like a small service for your game.

It helps to improve performance and prevent problems.

I recommend doing this every now and then, especially if you notice that FiveM is acting up again.
