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)
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
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!
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.
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?
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!
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 🙏
Just freed up over 200 GB. Been editing video on my machine for 5 years and never cleaned out the cache folders. Thanks so much man making my life a lot easier!
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!
Holy eff, dude, this video just helped me discover that there were over 100GB of cache files taking up space on my hard drive. I love Adobe but how this is even a thing is so so SO stupid.
OMG! You've saved my life. I have a Macbook Pro from 2014, I thought I had to buy a new one, always having only 3-4 free GB to work with adobe (almost in hell) and I've been like that since like 3 years ago, and now I have 40GB of free storage. IT'S A MIRACLE! 😱 thank you so much🙏🏻 now my macbook works like the first day it was new.
I have a 2018 128GB MacBook Pro and the 'System' was 85GB!! For so long I have had no idea why it was taking up so much space, and you sir just solved my problem! The System now only takes up 20GB. *Many thanks*
SO SIMPLE! Thank you so much! Do you have any advice on how to save my folder on Premiere Pro? Like I make a favorite folder, where I put all my fav effects etc. And often when I open Premiere Pro the folder is gone. Any tips on how to fix that? I have updated to the latest version etc.
Thank you so much! I had an edit done but no matter what I did the edit would not render but so I searched it up and found this. This made my edit render. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Through this video I was able to open my photoshop! I'm from Venezuela and we have everything very complicated, but you can keep working! Thank you!
Hi thank you for this helpful video! I didn't have very many files stored in these cache folders.. is there another place to find useless storage roaming on the hard drive? Thank you!
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
I cleared 260 GB D:
72GB over here!!
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???
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
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! 🙏
