What's "lvcodedb" file located in "cache" folder? Can we remove?

[Tepig]

LabVIEW NXG automatically generates ".cache" folder.

I found the size of project folder was huge (in this case, about 45MB),

looking into the folder, "*.lvcodedb" accounts for the size, about 43MB.

I'd like to know

• What do cache feature do? For recovering from unexpected crash?
• What is "*.lvcodedb"?
• Can I remove those files?
• Is there any option to disable cache?

According to this article, workaround for CAR 688729 said "Delete the .lvcodedb file of the project"

so guess I can remove it but don't want to do without knowing what is it.

It contains the compiled code from your project. If you delete it, all the code will have to recompile, which slows down load time.
