\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Transient\ (freeing up space)
I'm using R# 2021.3.3 in a Visual Studio 2019 16.11.10.
The folder \AppData\Local\JetBrains\Transient\ contains the following folders:
ReSharperPlatformVs16
ReSharperPlatformVs15
ReSharperPlatformVs14
Shared
Which of the folders can I delete?
Thanks.

Hi Morten
I think you can safely delete Vs14 and Vs15 folders. It corresponds to previous versions of VS (2017 & 2015 I guess).
Even deleting Vs16 usually don't break anything, but maybe a bit slow to load every solution until the caches regenerate again.
If you have doubts try backing up folders instead of directly deleting them to restores if you find any issue.

Hi Leire.
Thank you for your reply. One additional question.
In then folder "\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Transient\ReSharperPlatformVs16" I have the following folders (see also screenshot):
v213_5f3b4e23\
v212_5f3b4e23\
v211_5f3b4e23\
v203_5f3b4e23\
v202_5f3b4e23\
v193_5f3b4e23\
v192_5f3b4e23\
v191_5f3b4e23\
a) Do the first four characters refer to old versions? (i.e. "v191" and "v192") and
b) Can I safely delete these folders too?

Hello,
you can safely remove any content in %LocalAppData%\JetBrains\Transient folder.
Also the the following folder can be safely removed if needed:
Thank you.
Hi mma71, you're right, but the versions are from Resharper, in your case you had folders from version 19.1 to 21.3.
If you don't have plans to back to previous versions, you can delete all of them except the last one to save the caches.
But as Angelina Elycheva says, complete Transient folder can be deleted safely.
Regards.
