App & user data in Lr

[Jaysen34969756wj4f]

Wondering how I can fix 'App & user data' from requiring 1.5 TB of space on my computer. I've read a number of forum fixes but can't seem to get my issue resolved and have deleted many apps on my computer just to keep it running. I'm using Adobe Lightroom 8.5.1... and I think my full computer problem is due to the 'App & user data' requiring 1.5 TB. How can I free up space? My storage location for originals is set to an external hard drive (prior to two weeks ago though it was set to my local drive C). My cashe size limit is now set to 10 GB (it was ay 456 GB until recently). But still, I can't find or fix the huge amount of space required for App & user data. Help?

Hi @Jaysen34969756wj4f, thanks so much for reaching out!

Could you please go to Edit > Preferences > Cache and share a screenshot of what you see there?

Just a heads-up: the amount of disk space Lightroom uses can change depending on what you're working on. Photos and videos that Lightroom thinks you’re likely to view or edit tend to stay on your disk longer. A few things that can keep a photo in “active” status include:

• Marking it as a Pick or giving it a 4–5 star rating
• Importing or editing it in Lightroom (desktop or mobile) within the last 15 days

Thanks again,
Alek

Good morning @Aleke , any ideas how to resolve the 1.5 TB of app & user data issue? I don't have any star ratings etc on my photos, and I haven't used up much of my cloud space.  Thinking of just uninstalling the appm again, but that didn't work last time...  Thank you
