Hey @Douglas_Gayeton, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the trouble!


What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?



  • logging out and back in

  • clearing your browser/desktop app’s cache

  • un-installing and re-installing the desktop app


Here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on a Mac:



  1. Quit the Figma desktop app

  2. Open Terminal.app and enter the following command:

    rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma/”{Desktop,DesktopProfile}

  3. Try opening the desktop app again


Here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on Windows:



  1. Close the Figma desktop app

  2. Open the Start menu, and paste in this, followed by enter: %APPDATA%\Figma

  3. In the window that opens, delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist

  4. Launch the desktop app again
