Question

XD Fills up main storage when in use

XD will continue to write temp files to cache and fill up storage until it is unable to save any more. Is there any way to change the location of the XD's cache or disable it all together. Why are previsous auto saves not deleted when a new one is created. I've found that if I'm working with a particualarliy large project I can end up with many saved versions each one being 170mb  of that project in cache and the only way to clear it is to close XD. I have used XD on a mac and this problem doesnt happen, it's only an issue on windows.

    That doesn't exactly help with this issue as XD cleares its cache when you close the program and I would need to close it to run either of those programs anyways. The issue is that I only have like 5gb free on my main drive and it fills that up in about an hour or less so I constantly have to keep an eye on my storage level and save and close before it becomes full.
