Deleting Corrupt Cache Files

Adobe Dreamweaver creates cache files on your PC which can cause conflicts when you update or install a new version of Adobe Dreamweaver. Similarly, these cache files are corrupt and cause the existing version of Adobe Dreamweaver to not work properly. Follow these steps to remove Adobe Dreamweaver cache files.

1. To view cache files you’ll have to first select the option to view Hidden Files. In Windows 10, 8.1 & 8, select the View tab in the File Explorer/ Windows Explorer, and select the Hidden items checkbox.
2. Now make your way to the following directory: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver C*\<language>\Configuration (* represents the version of Dreamweaver CS5/CS6).
3. Locate the cache file, WinFileCache-********.dat inside the configuration folder and delete it. (The string of characters after FileCache- vary depending on your system).
4. If you’re experiencing a JavaScript error related to either dwscripts or translators were not loaded error, delete the FileCache.dat file as well.

Restart your computer and launch Adobe Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver will create a new cache file and that should be the end of your troubles.
