Residual frames in After Effects composition won’t go away
-
Oddly enough, I had a worst version of Matteo’s problem; From a fresh re-boot, I’d open After Effects CC 2014, start a new, empty comp and find a single frame of a project I had worked on days before.

I went to Preferences/Media & Disk cache, and emptied the Disk Cache. Didn’t help.
What worked?
I had to go to my Disk Cache folder (the directory that AE point to, to store all of your cache) and do my own erasing; the clear disk cache function had cleared files out of the “Adobe” folder but it DID NOT clear files out of the file that ended in “.noindex.” So I cleared the multiple folder inside the no index folder(there were 45,000 files!) and now my ghost frame is gone in AE.https://images.creativecow.net/213590/screenshot2014-07-01at1.18.47pm.png
My question: What the heck did I do? And why is this a problem in CC 2014? I’ve never had an issue with this before.

I had the same problem. New project, new comp – same residual image. Thanks for the fix!!!!

I have tried most of the solutions provide by others but none of them worked. The solution provided by you worked for me.
Thanks a lot.-Surajit

Hi! I found this because I was having the same issues. I had some text in one composition that was appearing in 2 other compositions masking them out. That should have been my clue but because I don’t remember actually pasting the text anywhere other than the comp I wanted it in, and I was stumped.
The answer of copying my layers into a new comp worked indeed. And then not 30 seconds later I found the issue which was indeed, my text had created masks of all the letters. Was able to delete them and get rid of the duplicated comp.
Thank you for this. Without this thread I’d still be banging my head on my desk.
