Clear ScreenFlow Cache on Mac
Over time, ScreenFlow accumulates recordings, cache in ~/Documents/ScreenFlow Documents that can grow to 2 GB – 100 GB. Clearing them often fixes glitches, login loops and frees serious disk space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to delete these files manually?
Yes — files in ~/Documents/ScreenFlow Documents are app-generated and safe to remove after quitting the app. Risk level: Caution. macOS or the app will recreate anything still needed.
Will I lose my settings or data?
Manual removal of the support folder resets the app to defaults. To keep settings, back up the location first or use OptiClear's selective cleanup.
