Moving cache folder

Hello,
I would like to know if it´s possible to move the cache folder (adobe flash player) from C hard-disk to another one for example D.
Right now the program is installed on D. But the temporary cache folder is automaticly on C created.
Thanks a lot.

I decided on an experiment:
Firstly, I opened Photoshop CS6 Perpetual and then went to my 3T Drive
J: and there it was, Photoshop Tmp ..... which I think is the scratch
file.
In Edit - Preferences - Performance; there is a dialogue box for
History, Cache and Scratch with Scratch having a choice of drives - I
(me) chose J:. On closing Photoshop ...Tmp disappeared from J:.
Secondly, Bridge CS6 opened to a folder "Churches All" which has three
files not in sub-folders - I found two folders on J:; "256" and "1024",
each containing the same three files as in "Churches All". I closed
Bridge but those two folders plus two more; "data" and "full" remained.
"data" contains a file(?) called "store", but "full", paradoxically,
was empty.
Not sure what the above explains but Bridge does leave a trail of
folders/files, as shown on my I: drive back to 2012. Deleting those
folders/files manually does not seem to upset Photoshop, and now, having
a huge second drive, I suppose they are bearable but then I'm only a bit
more than a casual user. But once I start backing up to that drive the
story may be different. It would be nice if the system automatically
removed the cache after closing down photoshop/bridge.

Moving Photoshop Cache Folder

My Photoshop CS6 Perpetual Cache is on a drive that undergoes backup - I don't want Cache backed up. I'm using Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Please, how can I move it to another drive, can't find a way in Photoshop - Edit --- Preferences. I would also like to limit the life of the cache folder to the period of use of Photoshop and Bridge.
Further, on being invited to upgrade my Applications Manager, Photoshop CS6, Bridge and Camera Raw today, the Applications Manager update failed - I waited 2 hours before stopping with task manager, I know, stupid, but would you risk it? It seems I didn't have Applications Manager aboard and trying to later download and install it, failed. Any thoughts please - I gues it's because I don't subscribe to the new Cloud. Surely the upgrade window should have said something like - "Sorry update has failed"!
Thanks for all the help in the past and thanks in anticipation for help with these new questions.

Thanks Chris

After Effects Cache Folder location keeps changing

Hello -
We have a non-traditional set up for After Effects at our network. We have five HP Z800s and two HP Z820s that are primarily accessed through Windows Remote Log In. Each user (we have 25) has a unique user name and password.
The first time the user logs on to After Effects they set up their cache location to a specified folder labeled AE CACHE on one of the computer's drives (not the C Drive which just holds applications.) This allows us to media manage each machine by just deleting the contents in the Cache folder once a week.
Over the past six to twelve months or so we have noticed that users' cache location change from that D: drive back to their user folder within the C Drive. This obviously quickly and dangerously fills up the C Drive. I am using WinDirStat to go through the C Drive finding cache that was moved to the C Drive.
I can't explain it. I've had editors raise the amount of Cache that can be stored to the drive, deleted the Cache folder and created a new one and tried a different location...yet every once in a while a users cache folder returns to the C Drive. It's not every user either, some haven't had any issues.
I understand we are in a unique situation with our remote log in, but if anyone has encountered anything like this and found a solution I'd really appreciate hearing about it. I'm at a loss.
Thank you.

Chris is right. My library is also stored on NAS. ALWAYS make sure drive is mounted to OS before starting iTunes. I made a shortcut on desktop to open Windows Explorer to the NAS. This ensures drive is mapped and waken up from sleep.

File name with symbols won't delete from trash.cache\trash\cache folder.

found this weird file name with symbols (squares nad the like) in the trash.cache\trash\cache folder. Can't seem to delete it from windows, can't get at from the dos prompt. Windows safe mode won't delete it.
Any suggestions as to what it is and how to get rid of it.
At present am trying reinstall of firefox and virus scan.
Thanks

I tried to do the instructions Adobe gave me but when
I put in the disc that came with my mac and hold down
C when it restarts it takes me to the screen to do a
fresh install.
At that point go to the Menu & select Disk Utility - I can't remember exactly which menu but you should be able to find it easily... there isn't too much there
I went into the disk utility through the Apps folder
and for somereason the option to repair isnt
highlighted and it wont let me click it. I tried to
repair permissions/verify but it doesnt change
anything. I looked at the info and it says the volume
can be repaired, but it wont let me.
You can't Repair the disk the system is currently running the OS from - That's why you have to boot from the Installer disk (or some other start-up disk). Repair Disk addresses directory structure issues - totally separate from what Repair Permissions does.

I am having a problem with files in media cache folder related to themes in PrE7.

I have PrE7/PSE7 and like others noticed my media cache folder kept growing. In particular there were .pek and .cfa files for three files that weren't in any of my projects. As I dug around I discovered they were Themes, ones that I never used. As I played more I found that these were the only themes that when previewed did not have any sound. My fear is that they are corrupt and and that is why the sound files are being created. Can somebody check theirs and tell me if they should have sound or not?
Thanks,
Mike

As far as I know everything is stock from the original load. I didn't have any luck finding any meaningful references to issues with themes. It would be nice if somebody could confirm if the themes mentioned above do actually have audio before I try a reload of the software. If Adobe monitors these forums as I would hope they do, maybe they could chime in with some type of acknowledgement (aware of bug but no fix or patch available...etc.) But then again, 8 is released...7 is history...:(
Bill thanks for your help...:)
I'm going to leave the post open over the weekend in hopes I'll get the info I requested then close it. Thanks again.

How can I delete the contents in Cache.Trash folder (not the normal Cache folder)?

Recently, I keep receiving notice of "Hard Disk is Full - You have run out of disk space on drive C. To free space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Clean-up". But after I removed a substantial sizes of files to another drive, in a short while, the notice reappear again. I was puzzled and take a check on the files and folders in drive C and realized the problem came from those unknown files in the folder named Cache.Trash (not the normal Cache folder although they are located side by side). Some files sizes are shockingly large ranging from 2GB to 5GB. They have strange and difficult to identify File Name and File Types. When I checked the Properties of those files, they have unknown MS-DOS name, Created, Modified and Accessed dates. When I tried to delete those files directly, a notice of "Error Deleting File: Cannot delete file: File system error (1026)" appeared. Note: There are still many Free Space available in other disk drives. Any idea please?

There is no session crash here. On others start, the Cache.Trash folder and its contents still there. When a ScanDisk program is performed, after some time, a notice appeared, "ScanDisk has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing to this drive. Quitting some running programs may enable ScanDisk to finish sooner. Do you want to continue receiving this warning?" So I closed any other running application and program and restart the ScanDisk program again. After some time, the notice appeared again. I clicked No to indicate do not want to continue receiving this warning and the program keep repeating running.....how long will the program take?

Moving a folder to a subfolder?

Hi all,
Maybe my question is really basic, but I just can't find a solution.
I have created a folder in the main Power BI site on Office365. Now I'd like to move this folder into another folder.
How can I do this?
Regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal, moving a folder is supported at the level of SharePoint itself. One of the easy options is to open the document library in explorer and simply move the folder to the right position in the document library. (see below how you get to it in SPO).
BTW, you can see also the following movie
showing this concept

Error Message: Disk Cache folder doesn't exist

I know this has already been asked, but I am aware that I HAVE deleted the disk cache folder by accident, and it is no longer in the recycle bin. Is there anywhere i can go to restore the Disk Cache folder, or redownload it? How does it affect me to work without it? Thanks

Just create a new folder and point to it in the preferences. It's as easy as that.
You could also delete your preferences, re-launch, and everything should be restored.

Why I can no longer save videos (*.flv) from my cache folder?

Well, I don't speak English.
I'm sorry.
Até o Firefox 3.6.16 eu conseguia salvar um vídeo (*.flv), do Youtube por exemplo, a partir da pasta cache. Por que não posso mais fazê-lo no Firefox 4.0?
A partir disso, desinstalei o Firefox 4.0, voltei para o antigo. E quando não puder mais usar a versão 3.6.16 passarei a usar o IE, já que na versão 8.0.6001.18702 ainda consigo fazer o salvamento de vídeos.
Grato pela atenção.
Cordialmente,
Elson

it is way more convenient just to get the cached videos (not just from youtube) from the cache folder... no encoding/downloading/converting because the file is already there!
I don't get it why Mozilla decided to hide the .flv files from cache... makes me want to change browser :(

After moving a folder to an external drive i can still see the images even with the external drive off

I have moved a folder with a lot of subfolders onto an external drive but when I disconnect the external drive I can still view them in Lightroom. I thought this took them off my Mac Book Drive.

The previews that LR makes for itself are small and their size can be set in Preferences. The default is around 1600 pixels wide and it should be set to the size closest to your monitor resolution.
Another feature that might interest you is the ability to make Smart Previews, either at import or later. The SP is a 2560 pixels wide DNG, whereas the normal preview is a jpg, and as such can act as a surrogate for the Raw file and can be edited in place of it when the external drive is offline. When the drive is reconnected, the edits are associated with the original.

Moved itunes folder to external drive and now lost playlists

To free space on my hard drive, I moved the folder to my external drive. Now, I successfully can access my music library, but my playlists aren't listed and I can't figure out how to get them/point to them. Any ideas?
Thanks!

polydorus, you are my hero. I launched itunes with the shift key down and was able to select the library on the external drive. I would not have thought of that. Thanks so much.
shockme, I found changed the folder name under the advanced tab wasn't enough. I used File>Import and imported the music from the external drive no problem.
mlevin, I was really scared deleted the original file too. I checked several times that the exact number of bytes were moved in case I wanted to go back. Change the music location, do the import, fix the playlists and get all going and then I assume you can delete the contents in the music folder like I did. Then I did a defrag to clean things up. Good luck!

Moving Song folder to external Hard drive

I'm new to Logic Express, and just starting my initial setup. What's the smartest way to move all my song folders to an external hard drive. I tried just dragging and dropping it which moved the folder, but when I try to save any new work it doesn't automatically like to the external drive. Sorry for the silly question I'm just getting started.
Thanks

Hi Sheba,
Welcome to the forum!
Save as a Project!
It moves all data from the session to the new location.
Also in new sessions remeber to route the audio path
to the external HD.

Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
Question:
Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?
Thanks,

I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
There are two scenarios
1. Initial download
2. Updates.
The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

New Tab Page - thumbnails are not using the files from cache folder, but they want a connection to their origin website.

Hi there,
each time I visit a website, FireFox saves a thumbnail of all these sites for the "New Tab Page". Those thumbnails are cached in the 'thumbnails' Folder . That's so far ok for me.
The problem is:
Every time if I use the "New Tab Page" (...after shutdown & reopening the browser and only with 'mousehoover' on any thumbnail) all the thumbnails on that page don't use the cached thumbnails from the local profile folder.
This means:
Instead of using the cached thumbnail-files all(!) these thumbnails dials to their origin websites without(!) a mouseclick on any of these thumbnails (...see jpg pictures) !
I'm using the "Clear history when Firefox closes" with the following options:
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads - false
privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.history - false(!)
privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps - false
privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings - false(!)
So, i can't believe that this homedialing of pinned and unpinned thumbnails should be a normal function.
1. Screenshot: thumbnails in the New Tab Page
2. Screenshot: the same thumbnails in the Cache Folder "thumbnails" (...also they are there after shutdown of Firefox)
3. Screenshot: Dialing to the origin websites (...after restart of Firefox)
The Browser Version is Firefox ESR 31.2.0 and in the installation are no Add-ons, which are - for example - prefetching linked websites.
I would like to use the "New Tab Page" without 'homedialing', so the question is:
How can I force the thumbnails to use the cached thumbnail-files ?
or
How can i disable the 'loading of content from their origin websites' already on mousehoover ?

There is a preload pref available that you could try to disable on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*browser.newtab.preload = false
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
