AE filling up my C: system drive even though it's installed and cached on another

Hey guys,

I'm totally new to Adobe After Effects, and certainly am running into real beginners problems.

I have my C: drive set to run only the system, and software isn't supposed to fill its drive, or my entire computer fails. Which is the case now with AE.

I've set AE to cache only on another drive, and it is installed on another drive, but it keeps eating my C: drive space and within minutes of working on it I start getting space issue popups from it. Is there something other then "Media & Disk Cache" to control where it uses space?

Thanks!

No, just making sure you didn't miss anything. Also if you use Dynamic Link with Media Encoder and Premiere you need to check their settings for this stuff as well.

Check your system's temp varaible and double check all the relevant cache settings in AE. For anything more exact info about this configuration will be required.

Moving temp off of C: does seem to have solved it. It was more likely then not that I'd get another drive and reinstall my entire PC setup due to it. Much appreciate that your tip fixed it!
