Where is pip cache folder?

by

The default location for the cache directory depends on the Operating System:

Unix

~/.cache/pip and it respects the XDG_CACHE_HOME directory.

macOS

~/Library/Caches/pip

Windows

<CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA>\pip\Cache

Wheel Cache

pip will read from the subdirectory wheels within the pip cache directory and use any packages found there. [snip]

The location of the cache directory can be changed via the command line option --cache-dir.
