The .prel files are stored where you tell it to store them when you start and name a new project.   Someone may have to correct me, but I think encoded files are temporary preview files that make the working process of editing function.

I'm not sure, but I think deleting the Encoded Files is not a problem.  So, I tried it.  I deleted the contents and then reopend two projects.  The contents of Encoded Files was recreated for both projects.  

 

Be sure you have backups, but then try it on your own system.

Don't delete .prel files!   Those should be "master" project files.  Can you post a screen shot of your file structure?

Mine were empty too.  Under Encoded Files were two folders named the same as projects.  Both folders were empty.
