Hello,

wapt-get clean isn't cleaning.

Is it safe to manually empty the wapt\cache folder?

Hello,

indeed, this scenario wasn't anticipated.

The cache directory was moved to:


C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\cache.


Historically, it was located in:


C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\cache.

However, a clean installation should have been performed during the upgrade.

In your case, you can delete the .wapt files from the old folder.
