# Clearing Your Cache

If you are having issues with your game, it is always a good idea to clear your FiveM cache! It is recommended that you clear your cache before your first time joining the server.

First you need to find your 'FiveM Application Data' folder. An easy way to do this is to enter `%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app/data` in your Windows Explorer address bar or the Start Menu.

Once inside the FiveM Application Data folder, go into the data folder and delete the following three folders:

1. `./cache/`
2. `./server-cache-priv/`
3. `./server-cache/`&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Don't delete the game game-storage folder; you'll be forced to re-download the game cache which may lead to issues.
{% endhint %}

Once those files are deleted you are done! You can now re-open FiveM and join the server again.

{% hint style="warning" %}
After clearing your cache you will have to re-download the servers assets again upon your first time rejoining **after** you cleared your cache. This extended join time will only occur once after clearing your cache.
