Question

Why is my C drive full of scrap data from Adobe?

Please do not fill my C drive with scrap data which will never be used, even though I install the apps on my D drive so that I don't get "scratch disks full" error in the middle of time sensitive work to manually delete the app cache.

    Adobe is using the Windows recommended path to store various data. You would need to relocate the users directory from C: to avoid programs filling-up C: .

      It's up to you to move your scratch disk, Adobe don't try to guess what you want. If you aren't sure how to do this, please let us know which apps are doing this.

        Hi

        Have you checked the media cache location of the various Adobe apps that you use, for example Adobe Bridge cache location defaults to the user appdata folder and can get quite large over time, same for apps like After Effects, Premiere Pro etc

        You can change the default location in preferences to another drive as I do, so I never have issues with cache filling up the C drive, all cache locations set to a separate SSD
