Hard drive full problem
Hello. I have CS4 on my system drive, and I think what I have is a situation where premiere is using a hidden folder to contain all the rendered stuff on the timeline so it can play back seamlessly and uninterrupted when I do transitions or multiple layered content. The problem is other than programs, I don’t have more that 50 GB of content on the drive and its otherwise filling up a 1000 GB drive and I can’t find where it is. I also have combustion 4.0 on the drive and I am thinking it has to be premiere. Any idea where that content would be by default and where I access that in the menus of premiere to clean that stuff out so I can have a functioning machine again without about two years of transitions handicapping my machine?

I found it… 341 GB of space was cleared from removing the files in:
Great, now I can go back to work. Clearing that was not easy to find and worth the trouble.

preferably keep Hard drives maximum 70% full. A full drive will use a lot of time to write/read disc cache, and will eventually fail.

I don’t remember whether CS4 has it, but in CS6 there’s an option to clear the cache right in the menus. Bingo! I just looked it up, and the option did exist in CS4:

This should make it easier, and less likely to confuse Premiere Pro if you delete the cache externally. You can also tell it which drive you want the cache to live on.
