System file
What is a .waf file?
A .waf file is an Internet Explorer for Mac cache file. This is a system or support file. Your computer uses it in the background — it isn't a document.
How to open a .waf file
- Usually nothing. These files are read by the operating system or an application, not by you.
- If it's plain text (settings, logs), a text editor will show its contents safely.
The registry records this extension against Internet Explorer for Mac cache file, so software from that family is the most likely match.
How to convert a .waf file
- System files shouldn't be converted. If a program is complaining about one, reinstalling that program is the usual fix.
