Bottom Line: It is 100% safe to clear the BSG Launcher cache and temp folder. Clearing the cache will NOT delete your Tarkov stash, PMC progression, Roubles, or game installation.
What is the BSG Launcher Temp Folder?
Located at %LocalAppData%\BSG Launcher\Temp (and EFT/cache), this directory is used by the Battlestate Games (BSG) Launcher for Escape from Tarkov (EFT).
When downloading game updates or wipe patches, the BSG Launcher saves uncompressed update chunks into Temp. Battlestate Games launcher often fails to auto-delete update archives after installation.
Leftover .zip and .rar patch archives consume 5 GB to 20 GB+ of drive space.
Can You Delete BSG Launcher Temp Cache?
✅ Yes, it is completely safe to delete.
- Stash safety: PMC inventory and trader standing are stored on Battlestate Games servers.
- Fixes EFT integrity check errors: Clearing launcher cache is BSG Support’s official fix when Tarkov throws Game Integrity Check Failed or Client Version Error.
