as the thread says, what is this folder?

It is used by Qt 3D Studio, apparently.

Qt viewer crashes from 2nd run and onwards, when trying to run Qt 3D Studio presentation composited into a Qt Quick QML application targeting 5.10/5.11 64 bit on Windows 10.
Tried to reproduce same bug on Mac OS with no luck, hence the bug is specific to Windows 10.
The application runs successfully on first compile and run, but crashes the Qt Viewer on subsequent runs. After digging deeper, the culprit behind the crash was qtshadercache
generated at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\cache\qtshadercache
Once this cache is deleted, the application runs successfully the next run, but crashed again in the subsequent runs.

Any Qt Quick QML application that uses the QT Quick library would create that folder. You may have an application under another name that uses it.

Qt Quick is the standard library of types and functionality for QML

QML Applications | Qt 5.15


Deleting the folder is quite safe to do, any app that uses it will recreate it when next run.
