Hello,
I’m trying to free up space on my HD. My LR catalog is 1.5 GB, my smart previews are 26 GB, and my Preview Cache is 41 GB.
I don’t feel I need the cache, nor the smart previews or even 1:1 Previews but I’ve read conflicting information on Adobe’s site about the advisability of messing with the files, at least as I interpret their postings: “Do not touch the Catalog Previews.LRDATA folder, except to delete entirely- only if there is corruption problems.”
Curiously, I’ve had the ‘Automatically Discard 1:1 Previews’ set to 30 days and just this morning I reset it to ‘After One Day’ then closed and opened LR but there was no reduction in file sizes.
Is there a ‘proper’ and/or safe way to remove these as a practical matter?
Thanks much,
Dan
