I just noticed that the following directory is taking up 701.7 MB on my hard drive.
~/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<my hash>.default/Google Gears for Firefox
This has the following subdirectories and files.
docs.google.com
(49.2 KB)gmail.com
(0 KB)localserver.db
(7.5 MB)mail.google.com
(690.3 MB)permissions.db
(24.6 KB)spreadsheets.google.com
(4 KB)wave.google.com
(8.1 KB)www.gmail.com
(0 KB)www.google.com
(3.6 MB)
By far the largest subdirectory is mail.google.com
, which itself mainly contains the GoogleMail_managed[1]#localserver
(374.1 MB) and GoogleMail[9]#localserver
(236.6 MB) subdirectories.
How can I clear this from my Firefox cache? Is it safe to simply delete it?
I'm using Firefox 10.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. It doesn't look like the Google Gears add-on is installed anymore.
Okay, I deleted the directory and have not noticed any ill effects so far. Thanks! – Chris Frederick – 2012-03-01T08:34:05.093
