Stuck on Loading cache

Solution on MacOS, possibly useful on Windows/Linux

I was able to clear out the cache by

  1. Exiting Obsidian ← important
  2. going to the ~/Library/Application\ Support/obsidian/Cache/Cache_Data directory and remove all its files, either in the Finder:

or in the terminal with

if [[ -d ~/Library/Application\ Support/obsidian/Cache/Cache_Data ]] ; then
    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/obsidian/Cache/Cache_Data/*
else
    echo "Something odd has happened"
fi
  1. Restarting Obsidian and voila!

I hope this helps
