I Freed 151GB on C Drive! Here’s How to REALLY Clean Your Unreal Engine Cache
Is your C: drive constantly full? Are Unreal Engine projects eating up 100GBs or more of mystery data? Deleting project folders alone won't fix it!
In this quick tutorial, I show you how to find and delete the hidden cache files from Unreal Engine and the Epic Games Launcher. I'll guide you step-by-step to the hidden 'ProgramData' and 'AppData' folders that store massive amounts of cache data.
By following this guide, I cleared over 100 GB of space in just a few minutes, taking my free storage from almost zero to over 151 GB. If your Unreal Engine storage is full, this is the fix you need.
