Clearing Cache
Wipe that lag away! A no-stress tutorial for clearing your FiveM cache..
Keep your game smooth and lag-free by removing outdated or corrupted cache files.
Step 1: Close FiveM Completely
- Ensure FiveM isn't running in the background.
- Open Task Manager (
Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and end any remaining FiveM processes.
Step 2: Open the FiveM Data Folder
- Press
Windows+Rto open the Run prompt. - Type
%localappdata%and hitEnter. - Navigate to the FiveM folder and open FiveM Application Data.
Step 3: Delete the Cache Folders
- Inside the
datafolder, delete the following folders:cacheserver-cacheserver-cache-priv
- This will clear temporary data without affecting your character or progress.
Do NOT delete the game folder — it contains core game files.
Step 4: Restart FiveM
- Launch FiveM again — it will automatically rebuild the cache with fresh data.
Heads-up: Some in-game assets may be temporarily invisible after restarting. This is normal while FiveM reloads resources.
