Where Does RuneScape Store Cache and Settings?

RuneScape jagexcache folder with game cache, settings and logs on PC.

Last updated

RuneScape streams most of its world from Jagex servers but caches aggressively on disk, so the jagexcache folder balloons into tens of gigabytes. Settings, logs and the game cache share the tree.

Deleting the cache forces a full re-download with long loading screens after. Back up settings before wiping, or reconfigure graphics and audio from scratch.

Where RuneScape stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\jagexcache

Holds the game cache plus settings and logs in subfolders. The Jagex Launcher keeps its own data nearby. Copy the settings portions with the game closed; the bulk cache redownloads itself if deleted.

Frequently asked questions

Can I delete the RuneScape cache?

Yes, but expect long loads while it rebuilds. Back up the settings files first so graphics and keybinds survive the wipe.

Why is jagexcache so large?

It stores downloaded world data, models and audio to avoid re-streaming. Tens of gigabytes is normal on active accounts.
