Hello all,

 

My originals folder in adobe is taking up a ton of space, well over 20GB or data. How can i move/relocate these files? Also how do i know if its synced to the cloud?

    Hi there,

     

    Sorry that the Appdata folder in Lightroom is using a large portion of storage space on your hard drive.

     

    Which exact version of Lightroom are you using and what is your computer's OS?

     

    The Appdata folder stores the temporary cache, previews of images from Lightroom and can be cleared to free up storage on computer.

     

    Please checkout this dicussion for more details and steps to resolve this issue: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/previews-folder-filling-my-c-drive.41960/

     

    Let us know the outcome.

     

    Thanks,

    Akash

    Hello, i jack in to this thread sinse i have the same problem.

    I am using the latest Lightroom comming from the Adobe Creative Cloude. And my AppData folder is now almost 100gb in size. Though inside my prefrences where i set the cach size and where i can clear the cach the size limit is set to 1gb and the it says it is using 0.1GB for caching right now. The AppData folder have the same name as my local library, or what it is called.
    All my photos are synced to the Adobe cloude, and also stored locally on my own storage.

    Do you think there is some missmatch and something strange have happende here?
    And would it be safe to cleare AppData folder and resync everything again?
