    Can I delete old media cache files?

    Don26812 Community Member

      When I bought my latest PC, I had a solid state hard drive installed as my C Drive. It is only 128 Gb, but I figure it would be sufficient, since I would only use it to store programs, and no data. That is essentially what I have done.

       

      However, in just a few short months, the free space has shrunk to about 10 Gb, and continues to shrink daily. By far the largest largest folder is

       

      ....appdata/roaming/adobe/common/media cache files/ which is about 39 Gb. THey are basically .cfa files from old and newer projects.

       

      Can I delete these files when I am no longer actively working on the PRE 11 project?

       

      A second question - If I uninstall/re-install PRE 11 onto a different internal drive (which I have started to do with other programs), will this folder follow it, or will the Media Cache folder still be on the C Drive?

       

      Is there a better strategy for conserving and recovering my C Drive space?

       

      Thanks in advance
