Hi brianm21220719,
Thank you for reporting the issue which you are facing.
To further look into the problem, could you please share a screenshot of the different cache folders and the one which is taking 85gb?
Thanks,

Oops, mixed that up. Bridge CC shows 84.96 and says last opened on 5/13/16. CC 17 shows 2.06 GB and last opened on 3/8/18.

So delete the old ones.

If you're trying to be helpful, that response isn't. Of course, I will delete them. How to do so would be more helpful (drag [what: the cache folder itself or everything that's in it, or use preferences to clean it up, except that you can't open Bridge CC, or CC 17, only CC 19, etc.] to trash and empty, versus uninstall the earlier versions: all versus which one(s)?), but the response also doesn't answer the question of how/why this happened. I would like to know, and I certainly think Adobe should know and would want to understand.

How is that not helpful? I just advised you as to what you should do. Its cache files, they can be deleted. Almost everything you do on a computer is cached somewhere on disk. It happened because that's how computers work.

Hi Brian,
You can delete the cache folder under Bridge CC and Bridge CC 2017 folder, it is not being used in the latest version of Bridge CC 2019 that you are using, it would free up your disk space.
Thanks,
