Im having trouble doing something that I would think is ridiculously easy, but I can't find any  posts regarding purging "cache". Once apon a time I could go to preferences > file handling > Clear Chache. 
It's like it was completely removed. My computer is going ridiculously slow when I have Illustrator open. I assume its and excesive amount of RAM thats being used by cache.

So. . . Is there a way to clear/purge all of illustrators cache? With the exception of Settings of coarse. I also use Astute Graphics. I don't want to do anything that might affect that.

Hello @alyz51464347,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. I hope the suggestions Monika shared helped resolve the problem. If not, kindly share more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, system config (CPU/GPU/Memory), details about your workflow, and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/3U70gzu), so we can investigate this further.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
