Clear Compiled Object Cache Dialog Box

Select Tools»Advanced»Clear Compiled Object Cache to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to clear an object cache. An object cache contains all the compiled code for certain kinds of VIs and other file types.

Clearing the user cache will not reduce the size to zero. LabVIEW uses a database for the cache and only deletes items for VIs that are not in LVAddons. In addition, LabVIEW does not compact the database file after every deletion.

This page includes the following components:

Option Description
Object Caches Displays the object caches you can clear.
  • Cache—Lists the names of the object caches you can clear.
  • Size (kB)—Specifies the size of the files in the associated object cache.
Total size selected (kB) Specifies the total size of the selected object cache in kilobytes.
Delete Clears the selected object cache(s) and closes the dialog box.
Cancel Closes the dialog box without clearing an object cache.
Caution After you clear an object cache, LabVIEW requires time to recompile each file whose compiled code was stored in the object cache. This recompilation occurs the next time LabVIEW loads each file. Consider this performance tradeoff before clearing an object cache.
