    Hey all I have noticed my 1:1 preview file is a massive 96gb in size, I am wanting to reduce this so I have changed the setting in order to discard after 7 days rather than the 30 that was there. I then read you can manually discard them via the menu so that's what I did for my 49k of photos...

    Preview Cache problem

    I have an LR6 catalogue of 65,000 images on an Mac i27. Have been away from the computer travelling and when I returned to the computer and try to load LR6 the message is "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit." My understanding is that LR should...
