Clearing Chat Client file cache from Settings ^Īs briefly noted above, when chatting in IMVU Scene and Avatar data is downloaded and stored locally. 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. To do this find the Clients 'Project Folder' in ' » My Documents » IMVU Projects' and then either delete files associated with older projects (if no longer wanted), or move them to another location to clear the folder.ĭesign note: make sure the client is shut down and not running in the background when doing this. Although both act as local temporary storage they allow IMVU to perform completely independent functions irrespective of the data held in either location. When this happens it typically means clearing out the folder where this data is stored.ĭesign note: the ' Creator Mode Cache' is not the same as the Chat Client Cache discussed below. Because the Client doe not remove this data automatically (doing so would mean Creators loosing work) over time it builds, where it eventually affects Client performance.

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 automatically downloading the appropriate files for derivation - which can amount to a lot of data if the derivation chain in particularly long. IMPORTANT NOTE: due to various upgrades and improvements to both IMVU chat and the implementation of 'Create Mode' (replacing the 'Previewer' - which should no longer be available for use), the following information may be obsolete and/or incorrect.
