Title: Cache-Exiftool-10.xx
Post by: exwul on May 01, 2018, 10:16:41 AM

I have a number of Cache-Exiftool folders on my C-drive in the t \AppData\Local\Temp\ folder.

Question: what is the use of them?

Can these folders be deleted?

See attachment.

Thanks.

They may be deleted.  exiftool.exe will re-generate them as required, but you will notice a delay of a few seconds when exiftool starts up if they were missing.  exiftool.exe is a self-extracting Perl archive.
