Rush saves Proxy files on my computer

[Sandra5E6A]

Hi, Adobe rush saves proxy files of every imported files (that I store on an external drive) on my computer. Now I have tons of GB on my computer and Rush as well as my computer crash every time. Can I delete these proxy files? Why does Adobe rush creates these files when everything is stored on the cloud? Please help, many thanks!!
