Can I delete the shader cache on Steam Deck?
Yeah, you can totally clear the shader cache on your Steam Deck if you're finding yourself needing some extra space or troubleshooting. Just dive into the settings, look for the 'Shader Pre-Caching' option, and you'll find the option to clear it there. Remember though, clearing it might lead to longer load times for some games as they recompile those shaders.

No need, IMO. Clearing shader cache for more space doesn't really solve your problems and can make games run worse. Just get a bigger SD card!
Absolutely, deleting shader cache on your Steam Deck is doable. However, think twice before doing so. Games might stutter more the first time after you clear it since they need to rebuild the cache. It's a trade-off between freeing up some space and potential temporary performance hits.
