You need to know how to delete cache files in The Sims 3. There are two types: User Files and Cache Files. User Files are files you store on your computer that Sims 3 will read and use to keep your game’s data organized. Cache Files, on the other hand, are files that are automatically created by the game when it is started. It is impossible to remove either type of file.

Delete all files in the folder “Thumbnails”
To delete all photos stored in your phone’s photos folder, you first need to know where they are located. The photos folder is commonly known as DCIM, or digital camera IMages. This folder contains approximately 1GB of thumbdata, which is the underlying format used by image-viewing apps. You can easily remove the folder by following these steps:
To remove thumbnails stored on your phone’s SD card, open your phone’s file manager, choose “Trash,” then select the ‘Thumbnails’ folder. If you notice that the folder is hidden, make sure you check the ‘Hide Hidden Files’ option before deleting the files. Once you’ve done this, you can remove the files from your phone’s storage by deleting them from your computer.
Once you have deleted your photos, you can move on to your other files. You can also use this method to delete the folder “Thumbnails” folder on Android to free up memory on your device. Android smartphones use thumbnails to preview pictures and save space on your device. However, be sure to do this with caution as the files may not be useful any longer. The files in this folder are often large and can interfere with the process of installing new applications or making important updates.
You should also know that Windows stores thumbnails in a special database file called a “thumbnails” cache. If your thumbnails are corrupted, then your system is experiencing a bug or hardware issue. To clear the thumbnail cache, use the Disk Cleanup program, which you can find in the Start menu, and delete all files stored in this folder. Once you’ve done that, your system will be free of the unused files and thumbnails.
If you are looking for a quick way to free up space on your Android smartphone, delete the Thumbnails folder. This folder is used to store all the photos taken with your digital camera. The deleted photos will no longer be displayed in the gallery, and you will have freed up space on your device. You can also delete the thumbnails folder with the help of a photo-cleaning application. Systweak Photo Cleaner is a good example of this app. You can download it from the Google Play store, run it, and scan the photos for free space.

You can safely delete any of these files, but you should remember to do this after each game session. Otherwise, you may run into a problem with your game and need to clear your cache.
Cache files are temporary files created by your game that help the game run faster. Similarly, internet browsers use cache files to save information about frequently visited pages.

So, you may want to remove the accumulated Cache Files to avoid these problems.

You should also check whether your cache folder contains any thumbnails. Once you have completed the above step, you can use the Cache Cleaner to delete any saved data from your Sims. This process will make your Sims 3 game run smoother and less laggy.
