So you want to know how to clear your cache as you encounter a crash on the server and/or cant join anymore?

1. Press WIN+R
2. Type in "%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app"
3. You are now in your Application Folder there you want to delete the file "cache.xml"
4. Now as you deleted that file try to join one of the servers
5. If that didn't helped then go back to Step 1 and continue after that with step 5.
6. So the 3. step didn't worked then now as you are again in the Application folder go also into the Cache folder.
7. There you want to delete the Game folder (this will re verify the game files)
8. After the re verification try to join the server Again.
9. If that also didn't worked go back into the cache folder and also delete the servers folder.
