    Holy smokes, you are a lifesaver! Just cleared 80GB worth of space, thank you so much!

      I just cleared around 80GB also!!! Which means I can finally install that new plugin that is around 80GB file size! XD

    Thought I'd leave a comment for people who are anxious around technology like me - I was super nervous seeing all those files get deleted but don't worry! It doesn't delete anything important! I haven't lost a single file and everything still runs like normal (only this time way more smoothly)

      for after effects does it delete any of ur old files???

  • @iamsarahharris
    @iamsarahharris 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Okay... so I’ve been watching SO many of these videos and being a computer noob I can barely follow along. You’re speaking so clear, it’s easy to follow along and you’ve saved my computer!!! Thank you so so much

    • @iamsarahharris
      @iamsarahharris 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not even kidding... 180gb of space I just couldn’t remove!! I deleted so many things I wanted to keep. This is so good for the future!!! Thank youuuuu

    This video might be 4 years old but it was still a huge help. Cleared over 60GB, which explains why I was having problems with the Adobe Suite. Thank you! 🙏

    You’re literally a lifesaver, I cannot begin to describe how much space this gave me! I’ve been trying to render things for 2 weeks and couldn’t figure out what was taking up all the space! Thank you so much for this video!

  • @jfgotlib

    Wow. This was a massive help for me. I don't use After Effects very much, but over the last 5-8 years of periodically using it here and there for miscellaneous projects, I guess I built up a bigger Cache folder than I realized. 360GB back on my hard drive just like that! Thanks so much.

    • @lennwel
      @lennwel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great it worked! I got a question, maybe you know the answer, I have only one project I'm still working on in Adobe Premierre Pro. When I delete ALL cache files does this effect my project, where I already rendered a lot of frames?

  • @iamtimtern8603
    @iamtimtern8603 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Cleared more than 50GB off of my Mac and I don't have to resave all my work every-time I made an adjustment! I have been looking for this video for the past few weeks!

    @JamesKGraves 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    INSANE! I barely use After Effects, and this just gave me back 70GB of storage 🤯🤯 After months of deleting every little file I could just to install new programs, I'm finally able to use my Mac normally again. Thank you 🙏

  • @dylanendicott9067
    @dylanendicott9067 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This cleared 100's of GB's. I would go into preferences in Ae and Pr frequently and clear cache but it would never really free up space. Guess they don't really do much. Adobe is such a pain. Thank you so much for this video!

  • @paulkirk9132
    @paulkirk9132 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

IT'S A MIRACLE! 😱 thank you so much🙏🏻 now my macbook works like the first day it was new.
