Adobe audition seems to have a bug where it is either invisibly storing files (not in cache no idea where) or is somehow just using hard drive memory somehow at a rapid pace. Currently my computer says it has 206GB of open storage but Audition says I only have 155GB of open storage. I updated my iOS to see if it would fix the problem and it initially reset it so that the storage showed the same as it did in my mac settings, but as the day went on, it became clear that while I had reset it temporarily, the problem remained. In just one day of editing (large files) it's gone from 205.59GB free to 155GB free even though again the storage on my computer has only gone down I think one GB (i'm really just editing files not creating new ones).
"Cleaning" the cache does nothing. Within 2 or 3 days it will be reporting that my computer has no memory left to save files even though I'll have 200GB free.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it (audition 2025) and have had the same issue. Audition 2024 is showing the same problem.
It seems like it's creating some kind of hidden backups but I have no idea where those would be and it never shows that it's creating them? but then again my actual computer storage isn't showing that they are being created (again it's only decreased 1GB today, compared to 50GB decrease according to audition in the bottom right hand corner).
I'm pretty savvy normally so this is very frustrating and a bit embarassing haha, but any help would be extremely appreciated before it thinks my hard drive is full again.
