ru.keepcoder.Telegram
This folder stores cached Telegram data on macOS so the app can load chats, media, and interface resources more quickly.
What is ru.keepcoder.Telegram?
Telegram is a cloud-based messaging app for desktop and mobile devices that helps people send messages, share files, join groups and channels, and make voice or video calls. On macOS, the folder at ~/Library/Caches/ru.keepcoder.Telegram is a cache directory used by Telegram to keep temporary data such as downloaded media, thumbnails, and other reusable app files. This data helps the app open faster and reduces repeated downloads while you browse conversations and attachments. Cache folders are common for communication apps because they improve performance during everyday use. Removing this folder does not delete your Telegram account or cloud chats, but Telegram may need to download some content again the next time you use it.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a user cache folder for Telegram, not a core macOS system component. Deleting cache data is generally low risk, but it can remove locally stored temporary media, thumbnails, and other performance-related files. After removal, Telegram may open more slowly at first and may re-download images, videos, documents, or other chat content as needed. If you rely on locally cached media for quick offline access, keep it.
Recommendation: You can remove this folder if you want to free up space or reset Telegram’s cached data. Keep it if you use Telegram often and prefer faster access to recently viewed media and conversations. If you delete it, quit Telegram first, then reopen the app afterward so it can recreate any cache files it still needs.
