docs(desktop): explain the install download cache and how it is reused - #2211
usage/settings.mdx mentioned the Cache Directory in one line ("temporary and cached data") and never said what is cached, why a second install of the same ComfyUI bundle installs without downloading, or how much disk the cache takes. Added ### Download Cache at the end of the Advanced tab section:
The bundle a standalone install downloads is kept in a download cache, and a later install of the same bundle skips the download (the download step's status line reads Using cached download).
The Cache Directory setting is that cache; each bundle sits in a subfolder named after the bundle release and the hardware variant.
Default per-platform paths (Windows new layout, Windows redirected drive, Windows legacy layout, macOS, Linux).
One cached bundle is kept by default; older bundles are pruned when a download finishes.
The cache key is the bundle, not the ComfyUI version picked in the wizard, so picking another version reuses the cached bundle and a newer bundle release is what downloads again.
Two installs do not download the same bundle at the same time (the second waits and shows Waiting for another installation to finish downloading…).
Partial downloads older than a day are removed at startup.
Keep the Cache Directory dedicated: the app prunes older subfolders inside it when a download finishes, so anything else kept there can be removed. Deleting a dedicated cache folder is safe, and changing Cache Directory does not move or delete the old folder.
Facts source
Verified against Comfy-Org/Comfy-Desktoporigin/main (b9e84d44):
EN plus zh, ja, ko, es in the same commit, with translationSourceHash / translationBlockHashes refreshed. zh quotes the real zh UI strings (使用缓存的下载 / 等待另一个安装完成下载…); ja, ko, and es keep the two UI strings in English because the app shell ships only en and zh.
Checks
check-structure-parity.ts --base=upstream/main: OK
check-anchors.py --only-changed (base upstream/main): OK
validate-links.py --check: only pre-existing hits under the local, untracked tmp/ cache
No em dashes; both locales' ## /### counts and table counts match EN
No new screenshot: the Advanced tab figure already shows the Cache Directory row, and this section describes filesystem behaviour rather than a new UI state.
The Desktop settings pages now document download-cache reuse and cleanup for standalone installations. The guidance appears in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. The translated pages also update translation metadata.
Changes: Desktop download-cache documentation

Summary
English cache guidance installation/desktop/usage/settings.mdx
Documents reuse of a downloaded ComfyUI bundle for a later install, the default cache-directory suffix, cleanup of older subfolders, and the effect of deleting the cache directory.
Localized cache guidance and metadata es/installation/desktop/usage/settings.mdx, ja/installation/desktop/usage/settings.mdx, ko/installation/desktop/usage/settings.mdx, zh/installation/desktop/usage/settings.mdx
Adds translated cache guidance. The pages describe bundle reuse, cleanup of older subfolders, and the effect of deleting the cache directory. They also update translation metadata.
Possibly related PRs
Comfy-Org/docs#2070: Adds the Spanish locale page that this change updates with download-cache guidance and translation metadata.
The documentation should qualify cache reuse and advise waiting for installations to finish before deleting the cache. These are bounded guidance issues; the changes do not alter installation behavior.

Las instalaciones independientes descargan un paquete de ComfyUI en el **Directorio de Caché** (la ruta predeterminada termina en `download-cache`). Una instalación posterior del mismo paquete omite la descarga y muestra **Using cached download**, así que termina mucho más rápido.
Dedica el **Directorio de Caché** solo a esta caché: cuando termina una descarga, se eliminan las subcarpetas más antiguas de su interior, así que cualquier otra cosa que guardes ahí también puede borrarse. Borrar una carpeta de caché dedicada solo obliga a una nueva descarga en la próxima instalación; los modelos, las entradas, las salidas y las instalaciones están en otro lugar.

Standalone installs download a ComfyUI bundle into the **Cache Directory** (defaults end in `download-cache`). A later install of the same bundle skips the download and shows **Using cached download**, so it finishes much faster.

A later install skips the download only if the cached bundle is still valid. Installing a different bundle can prune the first bundle, so installing it again requires a download. Please qualify this claim in the English and translated pages.
