Hi everyone 🙂

i got a little issue with ae. My disk cache fills up extremely fast. And i mean it. 5 minutes into working and its already at 50gb. I have no idea what to do about it. Even when im working only with fonts and stuff its doing the same. Anyone know what to do or what i did wrong? 🤔 🤔

Kinda at a loss here, because i don't really understand the technical aspect

Did you ever find out an answer to this? I'm having the same issue. I have my max cache size set to 92 GB and I have to clear it almost every hour if not more often. It just doesn't make sense that it would be creating that many disk cache files in such a short amount of time..

One recommendation:it is always good to clear your cache data atleast once in a month or in a 3 month . this is safe if your not using team project or long term project .

Before you jump there ,  I would like you to check my solution work for you .

1. Adobe cache help your adobe to preview your video faster so you see how your output will be before export 

what is adobe cache 

2.  I have found that its usually amount of cache size you choose accordingly adobe will store and generate . So lets try by decreasing the max amount of cache data that store on your pc . for example if it is around 50 gb make it 40 gb dont go beyond it it is not recommended because you may face quality issue , unneccessory popup saying disk full .

3. For our testing purpose just decrease the max amount , clear the disk cache , close the project reopen it 

then prerender it using space bar 

4.  now check what is it size 

to access disk space menu go to edit --> preference ---> disk space 

tell me the result
