VS startup time

Deleted the cache here. ( /Users/hara/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems )
Rebuilt the Spotlight data.None of these are the problem. The temp folder for apps in MacOS are given by an API called "NSTemporaryDirectory"
For me this is: /var/folders/05/z_3lq3qx1r3fwq25d68vr6g00000gp/T/
But a lot of other apps place their data in this folder.
If the content of the folder is too large then VS startup may take longer. -
/private/var/folders/6y ( mk, nt, zz )
I manually removed one by one the 0 capacity folders in each of the 6y, mk, nt, and zz folders.
Not all were deleted, but quite a few were reduced.
The ones in zz are highly dangerous, so I backed up and deleted only the ones I thought I could delete.As a result, the rainbow cursor spun up in 55 seconds and VS took 60 seconds to boot up.
I then used TinkerTool Systemu and CleanMyMac to delete as much cache as I could in the mac.
One last question that remains is why only VS 1.1 and above takes so long?
I have over 100 other apps installed and none of them take this long. -

I think at some point I added a temp file cleanup for startup to avoid VS temp files to accumulate due to crashes.
This searches the temp folder and removes files that were created by VS.
But this is very easy to disable of course. -
Thank you very much.
Ver. 1.2.018 started up in 7 seconds.
I have spent dozens of hours maintaining the machine by myself to no avail.
I ask for the sake of layman's education, can you tell me what you did to improve it? -

It does not search for past VS temporary files for cleanup when starting.

In ver. 1.2.107 there was always an old cache here.
/private/var/folders/6y/bplb4gnn2w76qclj0bgpf1f80000gn/C/com.vectorstyler/com.apple.metalThat seems to be the temporary being cached.
CleanMy Mac can now also delete it as system junk.
I am now free from the frustration of starting VS.
Thank you so much. -
@VectorStyler Where are the temporary files located in Windows?
Should we manually delete them to maintain a clean system since build 1.2.018 doesn't search them? -

It is up to the operating system to serve the temporary file locations and this may vary between versions.
VS will still clean the temporary files, but it does so after crashes, and not at startups.
With normal exit, VS will not leave temporary files.
