> When developing profiles, you may notice that changes aren't reflected in OrcaSlicer after editing profile files. This happens because OrcaSlicer caches profiles in the system folder.
> To force OrcaSlicer to load your updated profiles:
> 1. **Access the configuration folder**: Go to **Help** → **Show Configuration Folder**

> 2. **Clear the cache**: Delete the `system` folder to remove cached profiles
> ![Delete system folder](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/blob/main/doc/images/develop/profile-delete-system-folder.jpeg?raw=true)
