  11. wow, epic launcher just messed up itself like this out of nowhere 😀 Good job…maybe leave this job for Steam

  12. you fucking genius

  13. When i go to delete the file it says it open in another program but i dont have any programs open does anyone know how fix this like i connect epoc games and stram worked fine until i closed the app and open epic then white screen now cant even delete file

  14. Brandon I’m having the same issue mate. Says it’s open when there is nothing running in the background. I’m going to let the Fortnite update download and then reboot the computer and try again. I’ll let you know if it works.

  15. I can confirm it worked. Even if you have closed epic games. If you have a download pending on the launcher it will not let you delete the cache. As soon as my download finished I ended all tasks with task manager, then I tried again and it worked first time. Hope this helps someone.

  16. Holy molly you a genius man, damn it
