title: Visual Studio for Mac: Cache Location
body: <p>EDIT: I didn't include the fact that I was leveraging the MySql.Data package to connect to MySql via LINQ, as it didn't seem relevant. After asking the question, I switched to the LinqToDb.MySql package and the problems seems to have disappeared, so I think it was a bug in MySql.Data.</p>
  
  <p>Though I'm good to go, I'm leaving the question up as my solution and an answer to the original question might help someone else.</p>
  
  <p>Original Post:</p>
  
  <p>I am building a C# solution in Visual Studio Community for Mac (7.1.3). I've changed some references to database table names, but keep getting errors like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Table 'database.exampleTable1' doesn't exist.` 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>even though I've changed the references to "exampleTable1" to "table1" throughout my code in order to match the live database. </p>
  
  <p>I don't think the problem lies within my code, but within Visual Studio not recognizing the change. I've tried emptying out the Debug folder and rebuilding, cloning the project from my git repository and giving it a different name (the curse followed me!), and a few other far-fetched ideas.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/520593/how-do-you-clear-your-visual-studio-cache-on-windows-vista/520684">This answer seems to have it</a>. It suggests clearing out the Visual Studio cache files, but only shows the path to those folder for a PC. I can't find anything similar on my Mac file system. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Where can I find the equivalent cache files to the following on my Mac?</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\VWDWebCache
  
  or
  
  C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
  </code></pre>
