I had this issue last week when Figma was running super slow! Clearing the cache fixed it immediately. Here's what worked for me:

On Windows: 1. Close Figma completely (check system tray too) 2. Press Windows + R and type %appdata% 3. Find the "Figma" folder and delete it 4. Empty your recycle bin for good measure 5. Restart Figma

On Mac: 1. Quit Figma (Command + Q to ensure it's fully closed) 2. Open Finder, press Command + Shift + G 3. Type ~/Library/Application Support/ and find the "Figma" folder 4. Move it to trash 5. Restart Figma

The app will recreate the necessary files when you open it again. You might need to log back in, but all your work is safe in the cloud! This cleared up about 2GB of space for me.
