HI Guys

Today i noticed that Premiere is saving media cache files to my C drive Drive C:\Users\shoot\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files

And not to my dedicated Media Cache drive. E:\MEDIA CACHE

No matter how many times i state to save in the E drive, the C drive folder keeps filling up.

I'm on premiere 24.4.1 on windows 11.

I notice from the screen dump that the Media Cache Files goes to E:\MEDIA CACHE while Media Cahce Database goes to E:\MEDIA CACHE\

That should not cause the issue, but i would start with to change the Media Cache Database location to E:\MEDIA CACHE instead of E:\MEDIA CACHE\ . If it still behaves the same i would delete the Preferences for Premiere Pro by pressing the Shift-key while launching Premiere Pro. Check the "Reset app preferences" in the dialog that pops up and click Continue.

When you reset the Preferences the Media Cache Files/Media Cache Database will still be set to the folder you choosed since Media Encoder and After Effects share this setting.

Did it make any difference at all?

Sadly no this didn't work. On c drive it's saving to Media cache files folder.

Now i see the same thing as well, i my case in C:\Users\Roger\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Files. I was not aware of that Premiere Pro place files there as well. I had only .ims-files there. I deleted everything and opened a large project and got 1846 new .ims-files with a total of 5.9 MB.

All my other Media Cache Files were place in my dedicated foler: D:\Adobe System Files\Media Cache Files (1108 files @ 50 MB.)

Ann Bens confirms it and it seems like this is something we have to live with.

Like a LOT of users, my C Nvme drive has "limited" space, and I do NOT want any cache files there when I have plenty of space on my D Nvme drive. Grrr......

@mattchristensen ... what sayest thou? Are we stuck with this or is this unintended behavior?

You only need one post with the same answer. I don't know for sure, as I set all my Project or Production settings to an "S" drive, and then to let the c: drive do some work, I leave the cache settings alone.

I would try two things. One is take out the space in the "Media Cache" folder name. The second, I would try just directing them to the root of your "E" drive, as I have on my settings in the screenshot.

And is E an internal drive, or external via USB/Thunderbolt?
