Creativ Cloud Desktop causes high CPU load

your screenshot is reporting 500+mb of cc files.  check all your files stored on adobe's servers:

use a web browser to navigate to the following locations. at each location there are several folders to check.:

https://assets.adobe.com

https://lightroom.adobe.com

https://documentcloud.adobe.com

https://spark.adobe.com

if you delete anything from any of these locations, check for a deleted folder where your file(s) was (were) moved. if you want to clear space you must delete files in the deleted folder.

OK, CCD is still trying to sync like hell for minutes, althougfh there is nothing to sync. What makes me wondering are the 523 MB. I could nowhere find anything, not in the local sync folder nor on Creative Cloud Web. Is this some tech overhead?

Everything, Files, Libraries, Shared with me, Recycle Bin, is empty, nothing left. Maybe it was one of the 4 items (colour palettes) in the Library. We'll see.

ok, so there are no files in your local cc sync folder, correct?

if so, make sure there are none in your sync folder (and deleted folder) at https://assets.adobe.com

And that's exactly the problem, there are zero files to sync. Only in the library are 4 items. I have now removed them all to check.

@mopperle 

that's just a debugging step, not intended to be a fix/work-around.

you can conclude you have a problematic file that's not syncing.  to fix, move all the sync folder files out of the sync folder and unpause syncing.

is everything still ok?  if yes, add ~1/2 the files back to the sync folder.  if everything's ok, add ~1/2 the remaining files etc.

if you hit a problem, the problematic file is the most recently added group.  divide that in ~1/2 and pinpoint the problematic file.

now, if you have more than one problematic file, you'll need to be more creative to efficiently track the culprits.

Thx, that seems to work.

But IMHO still a bug that needs to be solved. No other cloud service I use, causes such a CPU load.

Sorry, forgot to add, system is running under latest Windows 11.
