Old Folder Premiere Pro 22.0 Installation

Hello Guys,
I was searching my system to free up some disk space and look at what I found.

I didn't know about this, and I've got really surprised. This should be managed By Adobe upon Updating from the 22.0 to the 23.0 version. This is "invisible" to me as a user, and I believe it to many others. At least what I expect from Adobe is either prompt me about this during installation and ask me what to do with it, but as we know, this doesn't happen.
Come on, Adobe, let's improve the updating/new version upgrade process. Get an intelligent installation or upgrading process, scan the system, look for old projects, audio and video, and ask the user what to do with it. Simply rolling out a new version isn't intelligent and will cause this problem for your costumers

Before I get any comments, I wanna make clear, the only Premiere Pro Installed on my system is the 23.0

Let's work smart and not hard.
Thank you

Until you have X number of posts, Khorus (the forum software) will not allow you to delete your own posts.

And while I understand your feelings, I'm thinking you're approach is a bit misguided. As to me, the problem is you aren't managing your preview/cache files locations for best effect. If you were, they wouldn't be there. The cache files are a big part of fast processing by Premiere, and really should be by themselves on an internal fast SSD drive.

Mine for all apps are set to my cache drive, a specific Nvme drive on my machine for fastest access and use.

I have back through Pr 2019 on this computer, and through 2014 on my backup computer. I don't have the problem you are having on any of them, because ALL versions on any computer I work with are set to use the specific cache file location I setup on that machine.

Hi Neil,
Thanks for clarifying the question regarding deleting posts on the forum.
Regarding the cache file, we are still on the same page. Adobe gets new versions from time to time, so during the installation, we should be asked what to do with those cache files in a new version. The only thing I remember is being asked to convert the projects once we opened them!
Also, if I uninstalled version 22.0, what are they doing on my machine yet? Once I convert on project Adobe's old version to the new one, Adobe will save all cache on the 22.0 version and keep the 23.0 empty? I just figured out that my 23.0 Adobe version was saving the cache onto the 22.0 folder instead of 23.0 as I thought before, and as I user just updated to a new version looked at the messy cache folder situation!!

This is not user-friendly behaviour.

A lot of the way their odd "system" is setup makes great sense to the Engineers. And none to us users ... yea.

Which is part of the reason we all need to use the controls we have to take charge of those files. Know where they are, and routinely dump them.

Then you can actually keep multiple versions without building up tons of bloat space like that. And get better performance.

Also, why I can't delete my own posts here?
