Hi,

Welcome to the forum! 😉

Can you provide the operating system you are running Processing on?

Also can you try to launch Processing from the command line, so we can see the error messages?

Hmm that’s frustrating. Did you also try moving Processing folder in Documents to somewhere else?

There may be other cache files but I’m not aware of…
