      I am running Magic Mirror on an RPi with just a (touch) screen, no keyboard/mouse. Connecting one isn’t really an option either (don’t have an USB keyboard).

      I am playing around with the zoom in config.js to determine the correct zoom for my screen. However, the first zoom I set is being cached, so subsequent changes have no effect.

      How can I clear the cache without a keyboard?

      Where on the file system is the cache stored? Can I manually delete it from there? I tried ~/.config/Electron/Cache (I didn’t see an app that looked more appropriate) but that didn’t do anything.

          @divinenanny just erase the .config/Electron folder

          turn on ssh, then u can conect from your pc/mac and use that keyboard

            yes, but then, how do I clear the cache? I am connected using SSH…

            (I have a feeling I am missing a really simple step)
