Is Adobe Creative Cload bloating "Other" storage on my Mac

Question

Mac.

I'm working on a large and long project and have started saving the files to Creative Cloud instead of iCloud. The "other" category in my storage bar has exploded, and I am starting to run out of room. Can I somehow get rid of all the local copies and store everything required for the project in the Creative Cloud, only pulling down what I need on the day I need it?

Creative Cloud storage is not a replacement for your primary hard disk storage. It's a companion space for collaborating and syncing files across devices.

If needed, get a 1-2 TB external drive from Amazon.

Move work files to externals.
Uninstall non-essential apps from your HD.
Run clean disk utilities to free up more HD space.
