help with bridge

By default, Bridge cache always stores every single thumbnail adding it to the existing cache.

If you let Bridge increase cache (just previewing images/files), after weeks, months, years, the cache could be still there and could be so huge that it take lots of patience and time to delete all the files/folders.

This is exactly your problem. The cache files can also be deleted manually and they are stored on the user preferences.

For example I have a team that is always previewing more then a thousand images/day, but they only need to preview the images once and they don't need to recurrently preview them again. In this case, is better that they clean the cache every day. For this, I use a script that clean automatically the cache when Bridge closes.

So, if you don't need to get fast previews over the past stored images, you need to delete cache and keep Bridge cache light.

How to clean cache manually?

Go to preferences > Cache > and read where you cache is stored ( location: ??? );

On windows or mac, open a window and browse to that cache folder;

You will find 4 folders:

     256

     1024

     full

     data

Delete all of them. If the cache is huge, it could take time, hours to delete.

After all finished, restart Bridge.
