The more worlds you go to and avatars you encounter, the more data gets downloaded by the game and saved to its cache so that if you encounter it again, you don’t have to re-download everything. If you spend a lot of time in public worlds, then avatar data can quickly get up in to the GBs. Go in to your settings in-game and clear your cache if VRC gets too bloated for you.

Set your configuration file to put the cache where you want it and how much space it's allowed to use, then it will manage itself from there.

The change is done when you boot the game a second time, not when you click the delete cache button.
