I'm on Windows

Does anybody know how to delete ALL cache folders off my laptop? It' keeps piling up and I'm getting so agitated by it

In preferences where the folder is said to be located, nothing is there.

I really need help I tried everywhere where the cache folder wouldve been and deleted them but it made no change to my storage and I'm getting extremely stressed out. 
it's a hidden file for me and I have no way in hell how to access it, for why in bloody hell does the cache system work like this and I have to dig through folders to delete the ACTUAL cache thats not in the program?

Hi Shintaro24036242szj6,

 

Thanks for writing in.

What do you see at the locations mentioned in the After Effects Preferences > Media & Disk Cache? You can delete all the cache by clicking the Empty Disk Cache and Clean Database & Cache button. 

Let us know if that doesn't help.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Thanks for your response,

Everytime I'm finished with Adobe, my available storage gets lower even if I erase the cache through the program, it doesn't go back to the original gb space my device currently had and just got lower by 4 gigs.

Is there anything I can do about this?
