A tutorial about media cache data and how to delete unused files in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. This is an easy way to troubleshoot errors and free up some space on your computer's internal hard drive or flash SSD.
What are media cache files?
When you import footage into Adobe Premiere Pro, it processes versions of the video and audio files that it can readily access for faster performance. These are referred to as "media cache" files. These are stored in the Media Cache Files folder. In addition, there is a folder containing a database, which retains links to each of the media cache files. These are referred to as "media cache database" files.
Default Media Cache Location:
Mac: Users - Library - Application Support - Adobe - Common
Windows: Users (username) - AppData - Roaming - Adobe - Common
How to clean media cache files?
You can do it through the apps themselves like I show you in the video or manually by navigating to the location of the media cache folders and deleting the files while Premiere Pro is closed. Be sure to empty your trash after. More hard drive space will become available, as the media cache files can take up significant space. If you have older projects you have completed, it is a good idea to delete these files to save storage space and to keep your computer's hard drive tidier.
