Option to clear all the cache, cookies and localstorage. about rocket.chat.electron HOT 5 CLOSED

For anyone who needs a stopgap solution on OS X (aka macOS), this worked for me, but I'm no developer, though I doubt I'm doing any "harm":

• close the Rocket Chat app.
• delete the directory "chat.rocket" that in the following path:
  ~/Library/Containers/chat.rocket/
• open the Rocket Chat app.

from rocket.chat.electron.

As quick fix before some real fix, I've created simple batch script that deletes cookies and local storage files before starting app. Maybe someone will find it helpful:

@echo off

:: Set Rocket.Chat path here (path to exe file)
set chat="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Rocket.Chat\Rocket.Chat.exe"
:: Files to delete
:: GitLab login is stored in cookies
set file[0]=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Rocket.Chat\Cookies
set file[1]=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Rocket.Chat\Cookies-journal
:: Rocket.Chat login is stored in local storage
set file[2]=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Rocket.Chat\Local Storage\https_yourdomain.com_0.localstorage
set file[3]=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Rocket.Chat\Local Storage\https_yourdomain.com_0.localstorage-journal

:: For each file
for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%s in ('set file[') do (
    :: If sosmething already was marked then delete
    if exist "%%s.toDelete" del "%%s.toDelete"
    :: Check if file is locked if not mark to delete
    if exist "%%s" move "%%s" "%%s.toDelete" || goto onerror
    :: Delete marked file
    if exist "%%s.toDelete" del "%%s.toDelete"
)

:: Run Rocket.Chat app and finish script
start "" %chat%
exit

:onerror
:: Show error message (should work for most systems)
mshta javascript:alert("Files are locked.\n\nCheck if there is no Rocket.Chat running in the backgroud.");close();

You need to provide your domain in there https_yourdomain.com_0.localstorage, and any path if it differ. Sorry for code quality but I don't have any experience with Batch scripting (and time;).

UPDATE: remote part of my office told me, that this script breaks the ability to start a voice chat. I don't know how it's possible as all files are recreated on app start, but be aware of that if you use that script. Gave as a real headache to debug that.

@engelgabriel Could you tell me how deleting those 4 files may affect voice calls? I'd like to fix my script so that we could keep using it before you come up with an update but I don't really know what may the cause be and therefore how to change it.

that script effects all notifications(in app), not just voicechat btw. We haven't tested it with the browser version.

For the record: In Ubuntu, deleting below directories cleared the cache.
/home/<user>/.config/Rocket.Chat+/Cache
/home/<user>/.config/Rocket.Chat+/GPUCache
/home/<user>/.cache/Rocket.Chat+
