How to clear cashe without a subscription

New Here ,
Aug 17, 2025 Aug 17, 2025

Having issues with my macbook's storage being half taken up by "other" and learnt some of it could be my premier pro cashe. Trying to clear the cashe to see if that helps, but I had a school subscription thats ended so I can no longer open the app. The only way I can find to clear it involves opening the app which I cannot do. Any suggestions on how to clear it manually? The main article says to search a certain location on your macbook but its not coming up when I search in finder and the instructions are really short so idk what I'm doing wrong.

The cache is saved to the location you chose while setting up the project.

Search for .pek and .cfa files.

I like to use Parallels Toolbox's Clean Drive to free up storage space on a regular basis.  It's an annual subscription, but I believe Parallels offers a trial period.

I hadnt uninstalled the apps so I went through and did that the proper way and did select "remove" and it did free up a lot of space. I'll look into the APFS snapshots too. Thank you!
