Hey folks,
I haven't changed anything in terms of settings and all of a sudden, I noticed a ton a "FSCache" files populating in my iCloud -> Documents folder. Does anyone know what is causing this, and how to prevent this from happening?
Thank you in advance!
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4
I had exactly the same problem. Today I tried a program called Lofi Garden from Memvas within SETAPP. It is a program for anti-distraction and ambient music.. It generated FSCACHE files in my Documents Folder in iCloud. I am glad to have uninstalled it now. I thought it was some kind of virus on my M1 Macbook... Hope I have helped you out.
Bye Bye from The Netherlands!

Hey Rogier!!
You’re a life saver! I was losing my mind. I also use SetApp, including Lofi Garden. I uninstalled it and everything stopped.
I’ve been using it for months and this is the first time I’ve noticed these FSCache files. Weird.
Thank you so much! And I love the Netherlands btw. Beautiful country!
Hi Matty, I'm Ihor, a co-maker of Lofi Garden.
Thank you so much for helping us spot a bug! The library we used for streaming was caching streams to Documents. We have just fixed it and released the new version of the app to Setapp https://setapp.com/apps/lofi-garden
Thanks for your help and patience on this issue!
Edit: I realized the issue was caused when I plugged my M1 Macbook pro directly to ethernet via an Anker Ethernet adapter.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thank you once again,
Matt
Rogier, thanks for confirming the issue! The fix was implemented by the Lofi Garden team. Hope we can continue helping you to focus during the work with lofi music

Hey lhor,
This is fantastic news because Lofi Garden was/is my favourite app in the SetApp store.
Thank you for replying, and I'll be downloading the app again.
