Is there a way to change the default Adobe presets folder location on Mac?

Apologies if this is obvious, tried to google it but to no avail.

 

Basically I'm trying to clean up my Documents folder but its got the folder for Adobe that contains all my presets and stuff across all Adobe apps. I want to move it into a subfolder that contains other cache folders like for extensions but when I did that, it just repopulated the same Adobe folder the next time I opened Premiere. Is there a way to change where all these files are saved?

Hey Ethan,

I'm sorry, but the location and folder structure of Adobe files in the Documents folder cannot be changed. If you move the folder, the app will still run, but the files in the Documents folder will be regenerated with default settings. These include your custom settings and preferences, workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, and presets. So Premiere Pro will look the same as a fresh installation.  

 

Thanks,

Ishan
