Can I safely delete "AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Roslyn\Cache\"?

Question

What purpose is served by the half gigabyte of data in "C:\Users(user)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Roslyn\Cache\"? What will I lose if I delete it? Will deleting this data harm my system?

Hi @Jeff Nygren

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

.NET Compiler Platform, also known by its nickname Roslyn, is a set of open-source compilers and code analysis APIs for C# and Visual Basic languages from Microsoft. Deleting this cache folder will not affect Visual Studio, but it may affect the loading speed of .NET Compiler Platform (Roslyn) Analyzers.

Sincerely,
Peng
