Clearing Cache in Elements 2022

Question

I would like to clear the cache in PSE 2022. I have read on the forums that I can navigate through File Explorer to the cache and manually clear it or go through Preferences in Elements. I have a screenshot of what I'm seeing in Elements and wondering which cache to clear? Do I clear everything under Common or one of the specific folders under that (Media Cache, Media Cache Files, or Peak Files)? Likewise, what will I loose in terms of function by clearing the cache. Thanks!

My goal in clearing my cache is to be able to upload HEIC files I'm having issues with and to clean up any unnecessary junk.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
