Automatic downloads of all me licensed Stock

Question

Hello

I recently discoverd that ALL my licenced Adobe Stock images are automatically downloaded to my hard drive to this location:

C:\Users\.......\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Creative Cload Libraries\LIBS\......

This is despite directing my files to my downloads folder as I licence them. In effect everything has been downladed twice. Even images licenced on old computes and a second machine are now stored on my drive. It all taking up too much precious space and I would like to delete all the files.

When I delete a file I can see the thumbnail in the Library panel in photoshop but I can no longer access the file from the Cloud, it's just a dead thumbnail. Useless.

Is this really how this all works? I thought everything was accessable form the 'Cloud' ... or am I just stupid?

Thanks all

G

You deleted the library cache. You should only delete what is in AppData, if you know what you do. Because that is space used by the applications for their internal stuff. Either you disable the library download, or you disable the download into the downloads area. If you disable the library download, any asset licenced can only be accessed on that precise computer. Anything that is in the library can be shared with different computers.
