Error moving temporary file to Caches folder on MacBook

What does this mean.“CFNetworkDownload_ThWZKo.tmp” couldn’t be moved to “Caches” because either the former doesn’t exist, or the folder containing the latter doesn’t exist. I get this error and a blank trying to load message

I found the solution.


Close Messages.


In Finder, navigate to your Library > Containers and look for the folder called "#images" and delete it.


This worked for me.
