Can you explain this a bit more specific.
Freed up 360GB. You are a godsent. Saved me big time.
DUDE. you literally just saved me like 40% of space on my entire mac 😱 THANK YOU!
Awesome to hear savanna! So happy this worked for you! It's a great feeling to get that space back!!!
THANK YOU!! LITERALLY GOT 113GB BACK AFTER DOING THIS 😭😭😭
This makes me so happy to hear! Thanks!
that is amazing!!
Hello please tell me , I am working on a project . Will it affect that , if I delete cache files ?? please tell me
@@johnme60 no it wont affect anything the cache files will be generated once again if you open your project
@@bhaviktelisara253 , Thank you very much 😊
Bealive me or not... But i dealated more than 550GB in this few steps! Im so glad man. Thanks a lot. I wanted to do reinstal my system, but this man helped me! You are the best!
+Kuba Zet - HAHA, WHOA! I've never heard of that much storage being recovered from it. That's awesome! So glad to hear that Kuba! Cheers!
From 8GB free space to 639GB. Yeeees! Thanks.
Dude, honest to god, i do not comment very often on videos, but i wanted to say thank you for this tip. I am sure it helped a lot of people including me. Thank you so much!
Easy 100GB free space! Thanks a lot, especially for showing the files and where to find them.
NICE! so glad to hear!
Another tip is, if you hit Shift+Delete when deleting files on Windows it will delete the file right away without sending them to the recycle bin first. Saves you from performing an extra step.
Thanks Cameron! Cheers! I didn't know that :D
Wow, this worked great, man! I don't even use Premiere and AE that often but I freed 47GB of storage. Real life saver right here!
+westcoast870 - glad it could help! 😄 thanks for taking the time to watch 👍🏻
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. I was seriously going to buy a whole new laptop. THANK YOU!!!!
Haha, I’m so glad you found this video first! 😄 so happy the video could help!
@@JordanDueck You're telling me!!! Thanks again!!!
JORDAN!! You can't EVEN IMAGINE how much pain I went trough before your video. I was trashing pics, and file here and there to gain a few megabytes back that were eaten right away. I didn't know about these pre-render thing!! I was working with all my previews and Render on my external drive. I tought everything was working out of there.
Since I've done the cleaning thing I gain so much SPACE and also SPEED back!! 300gb out of 500Gb....
No longer have to trash some of my kid's birth pictures. LOLL. ;)
That's so awesome to hear! Congratulations!!! I'm so honored that my video could help out :D Must be such a good feeling to have all that space now! Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
Thank you so much buddy! 3 years old video, still 200% useful ♥️
cleared up 34 gbs... Thank you so much! never let up
Thanks man! cheers!
Thanks Jordan! Actually in Premier 2020 the location of media cache is under the Premiere Pro pull down in preferences (on a Mac) I think they moved it. I knew about that one, but not about the files! Thanks a million!
Feels so good to free up so much space at once!!
So glad to hear! 😄
Thank you Jordan!!I freed up 83GB after doing this!😍
- Love from India 😘
Was the way you did it within Premiere the exact same thing as the 2nd longer way you showed by finding the folders? In other words, are both necessary to do, or is it an either/or option? Side note: Just found your channel and watched like 10 videos. Loved every one. Subscribed here and over at the other company channel you mentioned, bro!
Almost 50gb on mine... Better late than never I guess :) Thank you for this!
Cheers! It’s a great feeling. Glad it could help
Thank you so much for making this video. As simple as it is now I know, I had no idea how to get rid of all these kinds of files. I knew they existed, I just didn't know where they were. I had found the saved files just not the other type of temp files. This should help speed up premiere elements too cheers T
This man is saving lives and storage space!!
Lol, I want to hear about the person who's life was literally saved by this 😂 but for now I'm really happy it could help!
@@JordanDueck let's just say I saw I only had about 80 gb left on a 250 gig SSD and this brought it back up to 150. Almost had a heart attack for a moment lol
:D OMG this cleaned up quite a few GB worth of storage!
THANK YOU!!
So glad to hear! It’s a great feeling to get rid of those GBs!
this video was very cool and fast. nice work jordan. thanks. i do have one question: how do i remove my old projects from my recent files?
great..it works wonderfully...i removed 40 gb worth cache files....because of this adobe was not working properly,,,it took me 3 hrs to find your video..but worth...thanks..god bless you...
Thanks so much for this Vid!! literally a life saver got over 300GB back after doing this

YES! This makes me so happy to hear! So glad this could help you! Feels good to get all that space back! 😄
its..working thank you Jordan Dueck..thanks lot..
his videos are so helpful
@@hashtagplus4950 YES..BRO
So happy to hear it worked! Cheers!
Thank you dude. This saved my day. What is the consequence once you remove all the cache in Premier Pro? Does it run slower?
Glad to hear dude! Cheers!
Basically it's just shortcut files, like a cheat sheet for Premiere to be able to run files way faster and prevent unnecessary lag. If you delete them and then re-open that project, premiere will automatically start to rebuild those files and usually can do so in a few minutes depending on how many clips are in your project :)
Thanks dude
This is hillarious. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people in the comments who only discover this having used the program for years. 😂 But i do remember the RUSH when you do find it! 😂 why dont people specify their own cache folder in the preferences so they can regularly go into it and remove the content!? 🤷🏼♂️😂
Awesome tutorial! Just one question, if I delete the Cache Files for the projects I'm still working on will it have any negative effect on the project?
Thanks alot buddy....My 120 GB SSD Drive left only 1.5GB Space and Premier wasn't working properly.
I just deleted 69 GB space and everything started working fine...
Thanks alot my friend :)
Thanks Jordan...got over 80gig back after deleting those sneaky cache files!
That's so great to hear! I didn't know so much could be held up in cache :D Thanks Arthur! :D
It was fast and helpful! thank you
Very useful! Thank you!
Any time! Thanks Vlad!
Thank you for this!!!!! Just started using Adobe Premiere and this has been very helpful!!!! : D
You sir get a thumbs up! And this isn't the first time you have helped me out! Thanks!
+KLEANTRIX - So glad to hear it good sir! Thanks for the encouragement!!!
This was hella helpful! Thank you! Do you know why these were saved on my system's hard drive despite the fact that I had set the media cache location in my external hard drive?
cheers mate, running an ancient version of pp so this tut worked for me
DAMN, JORDAN!!! I've Just Done Cleaning Up 113GB From My Laptop... Thank You So Much For The Tutorial...

I have a hard drive of 500gb and microsoft took 300+ gb. I cleaned 696969 terrabytes thanks to you!
Haha! That’s a lot! 😂
@@JordanDueck Hey! Thank you! I appreciate you replying to my comment! that's a lot to me!
Thanks sir for your awesome help with this tutorial
You are most welcome! So glad it was helpful!
I can’t find the cache files:( I don’t think a folder with that name exists on my computer (i use a version of PPro that i got from a certain Bay) and finding the folder has been hell. But they have to be stored somewhere on my computer right??
AFX = edit - preferences - media and disk cache
PREM = edit - preferences - media
There are buttons there also to clean these folders.
thanks dude! i had literally years worth of cached data because I never knew this lol
Thank u so much , i cleared about 190 GB ❤❤
Holy cow!!!! YES!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME TO HEAR! Thanks for sharing dude!
Thank you, Jordan. I always learn something new from you.
Thank you so much you saved my job 😂🙏 I subscribed and always support you
Do you have any tips like these to just make premiere run a bit faster/smoother? Mine seems to have slowed down a LOT since I installer it.
Dude! sorry I never saw this till just now! :( Yeah this might be way too late but dropping playback resolution underneath your source and program monitors helps, as well as increasing the amount of ram dedicated to Pr (Preferences -> Memory)
Jordan Dueck you are a terrible human being for replying this late, but thank you 😜. I think I might just upgrade RAM all in all. Dropping playback speed does pretty much nothing for me :/
Try using proxy files to edit your footage if your computer is having problems handling your editing. You can search on RUclips editing with proxies in Premiere and you'll find plenty of useful videos about it. It will definitely help you edit files your computer can't really handle, such as 4K footage or even regular HD footage if you don't have a top of the line editing machine.
It clreaded like 1 gb but when I use adobe it takes up like 10 gb? and when I close it brings back 8 what happned to the rest?
Oh no, sorry to hear. Are there any other programs you use like After Effects, Photoshop, etc that could be taking that up?
@@JordanDueck yeah AE
I updated my Premiere Pro and the only option is to delete Unused Cache, not all. In that case, I only got about 1GB free'd. I know there's more than that in cache because I came to this video a few months ago and did this and I got about 70GB free'd. I don't save anything to my desktop and about 50GB of that has been taken up, so I know it's Premiere. What should I do now?
I personally find the media cache folders and delete them. The software will recreate what it needs.
So helpful... Please never stop
Haha, thanks! I have no plans to stop right now :D
Did all this and only freed up a gig. All the sudden my C drive is full for no reason. Can’t do anything.
Sweet, cleared up a good 40gigs, thanks!
That's a good feeling! Glad to hear! Cheers!
Freed up 9 GB
You deserve a cookie!
Thanks!
Thanks dude! haha, didn't see this till 3 months too late :D
AWSOME tutorial! going to save me tons of space.
Dude! Thanks! Seems like you're always the first person to see new vids :D
lol yea, your videos provide a lot of value to me as a somewhat intermediate level premiere user.
Thanks a lot! You just gave me 20GB of storage for free
+Ahmes Syahda - that's so awesome to hear! It's a good feeling to free up storage! :)
personal note:
1. Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization.
2. Select Folder Options, then select the View tab.
3. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.
Thanks Jordan! Where do u inhabit?
Glad you liked it! I'm a Canadian :D West Coast all around the Vancouver area

Nice video! I feel like you're going to be REALLY big one day on RUclips!
:D
+NotANinja - so kind of you to say!!!! Thanks! So cool to hear from a...oh wait you're not a ninja...
Clever joke there, Jordan!
Jordan Dueck THX brother! You are the best Legend!!!!!!

thank you!
You're welcome! Any time!
bro, thank you this video saved my life... thanks!!!
I dont have any adobe folders in my appdata only microsoft folders. Can someone please help?
Thanks Bro! Life Saver you are.
Thanks jordan u helped me alot! for premiere it was success.. but for after effect.. I cant find after effect folder at local/Temp/?..just have premiere pro.
Go into (edit-preferences- media disk cache) it will show you the cache folders. There is also buttons there to empty the folders. You can also go (edit-purge) and (purge all memory.) You can also specify your own cache folder so you can easily find and delete it regularly.
Still works. Thanks!
Mac Users---fast forward to 03:24
I do this every couple of months
Yes, thank you i was wondering why i was loosing 70 gbs from 2 edited clips
Oh wow! That must feel good to get back! 😄
I don't have the Media Cache Files when I click common please help
thanks alot bro, it helped me to clear 75gb space on c drive ✌
+hem kumar - Dude! That's a great feeling! Glad it could help! Cheers!
Thank you so much! This helped a lot :)
Cheers! :D
my MAN!!!!!
MY MAN!!!!
Thank you very much Sir for the tutorial.
Is it bad that i cleared only 7 gb?
Omg... This really helped!
I've doubt here, can we re locate the media cache data from C:\ drive to any other drive?
Yes. Edit - Preferences - Disk Media Cache ... set your own folder. It is better to not have it on the same drive as your software/OS.
This was super helpful man, appreciated
Thanks so much!
Very helpful video! Thank you :)
I cleaned my media cache files and now my premiere pro is constantly freezing in export
YOU SAVED MY LIFE
You saved me thank yOu!
So glad to hear! Cheers!
Thankyou so much love from Nepal
very helpful buddy...thanks
Glad to hear! Cheers!
So easy, thank you very much
works, chock-full thanks!
Does it delete animation presets?
Is there trouble because the file is missing ?
No. The programs will just replace what it needs as it needs them.
THANK YOU SIR FOR THIS VIDEO
A HUNDRED TIMES THANK YOU!
I've done something a little interesting I've bought a 256gig SSD solely to hold Adobe products I've also reset the Cache to that drive also.
Nice! I'd love to hear how that works out! Something tells me it'll be fast :D
Oh gotta ask did you go to film school, I went to one in Australia called Film and Television Institute. I was trained on Avid and Final Cut initially.
+Original Mag_Zi - dude, sweet deal! Sounds legit! I've always wanted to try avid just to see what it's like to use.
Myself, I technically never went to film school. It's a long story but I was applying to Med schools when I got a concussion. Had to drop that so I finished my last year doing a minor in film studies. So technically, but not really 😄 it was all theoretical and not practical.
