Delete cache to stop crashes - consequences?

Bridge has been working just fine, but when I opened it today it worked but if I clicked on Preferences it would say "encountered problem, must close" every time I tried it. I used Adobe Help file 317912 and by starting Bridge holding down Ctrl. and by clicking on "reset preferences and defaults" it now works normally. (By the way, it does NOT reset the location of the cache if you had moved it to another location.) The instructions say to delete the Cache folder. I was too chicken to try that, but did move to another file folder.
The question is what happens to the 2 folders under Cache - Data and mySQL? I clicked on Tools>Cache>build and export cache, and did not click "also export cache to folder" but the cache file is still empty. So just what do these two folders do??
Anyone have a clue??

Hi Curt.
The Bridge cache stores image thumbnails - deleting it will just mean that Bridge will re-build them. This may take some time depending on how many images you have. You will need to close Bridge before deleting them using Windows Explorer.
Often problems with Bridge are caused by corrupted thumbnails - you can
delete the thumbnails for a selected folder only, by using 'Tools>Cache>Purge cache for ...'
You can also delete the entire central cache from Bridge by using 'Preferences>Cache>Purge Cache'
BTW, cache files are 'hidden' files and you will need to select 'Show hidden files & folders' in Windows if deleting them using Explorer.

  • "Adobe Premiere Pro 6 Quit Unexpectedly" - after deleting Cache files.  All other Adobe programs working.

    I went in and deleted Cached files after repeatedly getting the 'scratch disks are full' message.  I have done this before and have had no issues.  However, this time it comes up with a crash message whenever I open Premiere Pro 6.  All other Adobe programs are working fine.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong?  Have I accidentally deleted something crucial?  How can I fix this?

    If you have a 64bit Windows adding more ram will allow Windows to use that ram, and provide more to CS4
    Otherwise... here are some links I've saved that discuss crashes... may, or may NOT, help in your case... but free to read

    Hello Kishore,
    you could check the sizing of the liveCache data.
    * Report  /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_REORG_SNP has checks  of the SNP planning areas for superfluous objects.
    * Delete old/temporary APO data.
    * /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_REORG report checked TS superfluous objects.
    If you didn't create the planning versions, copy of planning versions & data load to liveCache, then create the SAP message to check your system on the question of the dataarea usage.
    If you have the long running APO transactions => performance of the SCM system has to be checked.
    If you have the bottleneck in liveCache & could not solve the case by yourself => create the SAP message to BC-DB-LVC and get SAP support.
    Best regards, Natalia Khlopina

  • PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences...

    I seem to have tried everything to fix the issue but PPro CC14 won't stop crashing and freezing only minutes after editing commences. I am working on a Mac and have just updated to Mavericks as a final attempt to help solve the problem. I have tried calling Adobe but their phone support in Australia is shocking. I have resorted to posting here but haven't had any help yet. I really need to sort this issue out ASAP.

    Its it possibly related to your graphics drivers?  Seems similar to something I was experiencing that was resolved by updating my nvida cuda drivers (see thread link).  I also started running activity monitor to keep track of the memory and processor use.  That said after solving the problem by updating my drivers and switching to the CUDA acceleration, on occasion I get into ruts where it opens and freezes all the time.  It does seem helpful to try and reduce project size if possible - I normal keep a track record of sequence revisions and such, but when possible it seems that clearing out as much as possible by deleting or project managing into a new project can help things run better.

  • Help :( Skype 7.1 won't stop crashing no matter what I try.

    Last night I got a msg to update my skype to version 7.1, so I did that and turned off my laptop.
    Today I logged on my laptop and logged in Skype, and right after I logged in, not even 30 seconds later, on the home page it comes up with a msg that says "skype has stopped working" and the program closed.
    I tried everything on this list to see if I could fix it, https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10382/why-does-skype-for-windows-desktop-crash-my-computer?frompage=search&q=skype%20crashes?q=skype+crashes+on+start+up
    There was no problems with my laptop, no viruses, nothing blocking it from working, and no corrupted files or errors. I even tried to install a previous version of Skype, and tried older Skypes, (7.0, 6.9) as well. But nothing has worked so I uninstalled all of it, and put 7.1 back but I still can't get my Skype to stop crashing at startup.
    I keep thinking it has to be caused by the Skype 7.1 update because up until I did that, my Skype worked perfectly. I haven't been able to use Skype all day, can someone help please? I don't know what else to try. 

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program.

  • How do I delete caches in Lion and which can I delete?

    How do I delete caches in Lion and which ones can be deleted?

    you can delete all of them, they will be recreated as soon as the app opens again.
    Clearing Local Caches
    quit all open apps
    open Finder press "shift+command+G" and type ~/Library/Caches
    Drag all files and folders to the trash
    Enter login password when prompted
    Reboot
    your system may seem slower after reboot, this is because the caches are being rebuilt.
    Clearing Application Caches
    quit all open apps
    open Finder Press "shift+command+G" and type /Library/Caches
    Drag all files and folders to the trash

  • I have blurry artwork in Album View thumbnails.  Deleting the cache makes all the artwork sharp, but once iTunes is restarted, the artwork goes back to being fuzzy unless i delete cache again.

    I have blurry artwork in Album View thumbnails, but not in Grid View/Cover Flow.  Deleting the cache and forcing it to rebuild makes all the artwork sharp, but once iTunes is restarted, the artwork goes back to being fuzzy unless i delete cache again.

    Responding to your request here.
    I can't say it's a problem I've noticed personally, though now you've made me look it does seem that the large thumbnail is slightly fuzzier than the same image in the artwork panel. I have the artwork panel as small as it goes (small screen) and it is still slightly larger than the image in the browser so that might be all there is to it.
    Here's an example from my screen.
    Perhaps iTunes is storing a thumbnail at say "medium" size which it then blows up to create the large image. Are you seeing a similar effect or is your "fuzzy" art much fuzzier? A screenshot would be helpful.

  • Adobe content viewer wont stop crashing ... Help!

    Hi,
    I am running the newly updated ACV on the iPad 3 with vers 19 tools and it wont stop crashing when I get to the 6th or 7th article, dosn't matter wich layout it is it keeps crashing.
    I have tried everything : renaming Indesign documents, folders, articles in folio. Creating new folios, creating new articles. Reinstaling content viewer, erasing articles... keeps on crashing...
    Got any suggestions I could try?
    Thank you.
    JF

    My folio has stopped crashing all of the sudden. This was after I literally tore apart my iPad and my folio trying to figure out what was wrong. I got tired of it all, and I simply uploaded the original article layout, with all the objects, media and interactivity, and everything works like it did before. I am positive that this was because of the service outage yesterday. It makes me upset though, because I wasted an entire day trying to figure out what was wrong, when NOTHING was wrong on my end. I'm pretty sure this is probably the case for you too. See how everything works today...

    Connect to your DB Cache, and re-synchronize your client list (I can't remmember well, but it is option in the menu tools).
