Premiere creating CFA media cache files on the wrong disk

[Siah_Clark]

Hi all,

I'm having a very puzzling issue with Premiere Pro CC. I have created a brand new project. The project itself, and every scratch disk in the Project Settings > Scratch Disks menu, are set to my D drive. Despite this, whenever I import a clip, Premiere is creating a CFA cache file for it on my C drive. This can't continue because my C drive is a very small SSD only used for my OS. I can't figure out why this is happening, especially when all of my settings show that cache files should be going to my D drive. Any help appreciated!

Manually delete the files on C:.

Do they come back?

Any help appreciated!

If Jims solution doesn´t work, go to Edit > Preferences > Media Cache and make sure that Media Cache Files and Media Cache Database points to your D drive.

For some reason Premiere Pro from time to time resets the Preferences on shut down and when it does it starts to place the files on the C drive again.

We haven't heard back from you, JosiahClark? What's going on?

Thanks,
