Microsoft Edge Edge Caches
~/Library/Caches/Microsoft Edge stores temporary browser data that helps Microsoft Edge load pages, media, and site content more quickly on your Mac.
What is Microsoft Edge Edge Caches?
This folder contains cache files created by Microsoft Edge on macOS. Microsoft Edge is a web browser from Microsoft, and its cache stores temporary website resources such as images, scripts, style files, and other page data so sites can open faster and use less bandwidth on repeat visits. You usually do not interact with this folder directly, but it grows during normal browsing, streaming, downloading, and sign-in activity across websites. Deleting the contents can free some disk space and may help if Edge shows stale page content or certain site-loading problems. The browser can rebuild this cache automatically the next time you use it, so removed files may return over time.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a temporary cache folder for Microsoft Edge, not your main browser profile. Removing cache files is generally low risk, but Edge may open more slowly at first, some websites may need to download content again, and you may be signed out of a few web sessions depending on what is cleared. Quit Microsoft Edge before deleting files here to avoid partial cleanup or files being recreated immediately.
Recommendation: Keep this folder if you use Microsoft Edge regularly and do not need the storage space. Remove its contents when you want to reclaim disk space or troubleshoot loading and display issues in the browser, then reopen Edge and let it rebuild fresh cache data.
