For the past month or so every time I go to clear my disk cache AE is claiming that it's empty.

"Are you sure you want to delete all files (0kb) from your disk cache"

I have tried reformatting my cache drive, i've deselected and reselected the drive in the Media & Disk Cache settings. I just dont get what's going on and if it's affecting my performance.

AE 22.2.1 (Build 3)

Macbook Pro M1 Max running Monteray 12.2.1

solution is to delete the files manually.

Windows: C: \Users)
‹YourUsername> \AppData \Roaming
Adobe \Common \Media Cache Files
Mac:
/Users/<YourUsername>/Library/ Application
Support/Adobe/Common/Media
Cache Files.
i did this and i was able to empty and clear my disk again.

Solved the problem but formatting my cache drive and giving it a new name. I also gave the cache folder a new name for good measure. Back in business! Thanks.
