This is usually not malware and not a broken cache. It is Chrome preparing on-device AI models for browser and web features. Deleting the folder only frees disk space temporarily. The durable fix is to <strong>disable the local GenAI foundational model download with Chrome policy, then remove the already downloaded model folders</strong>.</p> <p>This guide covers Windows 11, Ubuntu 26.04, and macOS 26. It includes one-click scripts, manual steps, and an agent prompt you can hand to Codex, Claude, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI, or another local operator. The scripts use native OS policy mechanisms and Chrome&rsquo;s documented policy. They do not depend on third-party services and do not include real IP addresses, hostnames, internal domains, or secrets.</p> </blockquote>
