In Football Manager 2018 there are two ways of deleting your cache files.
The first can be done in game by going to:
FM -> Preferences -> Interface
Under 'Skin' click the 'Clear Cache' button. When prompted select ‘Yes’. You will now need to restart Football Manager 2018 for these changes to take effect.
To delete your cache outside of the game, please follow the instructions as stated for your Operating System:
To delete your cache, first make sure the game is closed then please do the following:
For Windows Vista and Windows 7:
- Click ‘Start’
- Select ‘Computer’
- From the header, select ‘Organize’ dropdown
- Select ‘Folder and Search Options’
- Within here, select the ‘View’ tab and make sure ‘Show Hidden Files and Folders’ is selected
- Navigate to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018
- Delete the ‘Cache’ folder
For Windows 8.1 and Windows 10:
- Click ‘File Explorer’ from within the taskbar (or click ‘Desktop/Start’ then type in ‘File Explorer’)
- On the header click ‘View’ and make sure above ‘Show/hide’ that ‘Hidden Items’ is ticked
- Navigate to C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018
- Delete the ‘Cache’ folder
When launching the game for the first time after completing this, you may notice the game takes a little extra time to load up (especially if you’re using custom files). This is where the game is re-caching the files in game and will only take place the first time you click on screens. From that point on, the game will be cached and should run at optimal speed.
