Hi, does anyone know what is stored in the EBWebView folder here: C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\ESRI\ArcGISPro\WebView?

Mine makes up 85% of the size of my local profile and I'd like to clear it out but I'm not sure what it's for and what effect clearing it out will have.

Thanks!

According to the internals - "The "WebView" in the ArcGIS Pro appdata folder refers to the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, which is utilized by ArcGIS Pro to render HTML and JavaScript content within the application interface. This runtime includes the Chromium browser engine for processing and displaying such content.  It's used to display dynamic content like webmaps and other HTML-based elements in ArcGIS Pro."

What you could do is rename it to WebView_OLD, then start ArcGIS Pro to see if there are any issues.  ArcGIS Pro will recreate the WebView folder again.  Give it a day or three and if there's no issues, then you could delete the WebView_OLD folder.

I know doing a soft reset of ArcGIS Pro also has the same effect - How To: Perform an ArcGIS pro Soft Reset
