Just got a message, that my memory is almost full. So I checked the system info and found out, that apps is using a huge amount of space. I started using animate for a client's project, but since the beginning this app seems to bring me nothing but trouble. 

In my finder window I searched for the library folder. In the library folder I opened up Application support, Adobe and right-clicked "get info" on the animate folder. 

I'd very much appreciate, if anybody could help me out with freeing my storage again. 

Inside the animate 2024 folder are only small files; I'm neither a programmer nor IT-expert...

Correct answer glutamat-design

be sure to update this.


After some further research, I think the problem with was, that my animation was longer than 11 minutes with a frame rate of 25. I separated the scenes into new files and could export them easily this way.

Nonetheless thank you very much.

Each of the files is only a few KB's, I honestly don't know where the 500GB's are coming from...
