Visual Studio – clear cache

The last days I have had exceptions when loading Visual Studio 2013. The exception prompt I have got gives information on looking in the ActivityLog, C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\[version]\ActivityLog.xml. There I found:

• SetSite failed for package [Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation.EditorPackage]

I googled and found this:

In that post clearing the cache in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\[version]\ComponentModelCache (removing all content in the directory) was the suggestion. It helped. Thanks Kuebiko!

Another directory I clear from time to time is C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp. Some files are locked though, so just skip them.
