Clearing Dreamweaver's cache

When you experience weird JavaScript error messages like:

• InitializeUI is not found error
  
• While executing onLoad in somefile.js  JavaScript Error appeared. 
• While executing onOpen in somefile.js  JavaScript Error appeared.
• <!-- Search: somename, server behavior is not found

Or extensions interface do not appear or appear corrupted clearing the cache of Dreamweaver almost always solves it.

      Dreamweaver's cache is kept in a file in its Configuration folder. That file name depends on OS:

• For Windows  it is WinFileCache-<randomString>.dat
• For  MAC  it is MacFileCache-<randomString>.dat

      Deleting of that file clears the cache. After restarting Dreamweaver is creating new one. Location of the cache file differs for each version and operating system. Here is a list of locations depending on DW version and OS:
