How to delete the Rolling Cache and the Manual Cache to fix some performance issues

DEFINITION

Rolling cache

• A file used to automatically store World Data while flying or exploring the World Map. The rolling cache avoids downloading information such as aerials, DEM, TIN, or vector data more than once. It is especially useful when flying over the same zone regularly.

Manual cache

• A file used to download and pre-cache World Data from a specific zone for later use. Stores DEM, TIN, and vector data but NOT aerials. It is especially useful for saving up bandwidth and reducing the amount of information being streamed while flying.
