Premiere Pro Auto-Save Folder taking up over 200GB

So, when I go into my premiere pro folder on my hard drive, (which isn't my C: Drive, I moved premiere over to my D:) there's a folder called "Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save. This folder says its over 200gb when I look at the properties, but when check the total space used for all of the contents in the folder, it doesn't even come close to that number. Are there hidden files of some sort that I can somehow delete to make space? This is very frustrating and I'm not sure if I'm just missing something.

That's ... odd.

(I hope the program is still on your C drive, that it's just the projects/cache & etc. you have on the D drive.)

In your system settings, do you have things set to simply show hidden files? And really, PrPro has no hidden files in the auto-save folder that I know of ... or really, anywhere else.

Yes, my mistake. I do have the program on my C: drive, with saves and such being on my D: drive. I also did have it set to show hidden items. This is the folder that is showing to be so large, but if i highlight all of the items in it and check how big they are it only comes up to under 600MB. Still very confused.

Odd. Where do you see the 600?

Try emptying the recycle bin.
