Set cache management preferences

Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Bridge > Preferences (macOS).

In the Preferences dialog box that opens, select Cache Management.

Do one of the following:

• Compact Cache: Optimize cache by removing obsolete records to reduce the total number of records.
• Compact Cache Now: Optimizes cache by removing obsolete cache records and the associated JPEG files.
• Purge Cache: Delete the entire cache, freeing room on the hard drive.
• Purge All Local Cache Files: Deletes the entire cache, freeing room on the hard drive.
• Location: Specify a new location for the cache. The new location takes effect the next time you start Adobe Bridge.

With this release, you can now selectively delete your 100% preview renditions stored in the app cache. This is helpful if your workflow requires you to generate 100% Previews. To generate 100% previews, click the thumbnail quality () icon in the upper-right corner of the content panel and select 100% Previews as your Preview Generation option. The 100% preview renditions get stored in the app cache, taking up some of your disk space. To delete 100% previews, go to Edit > Preferences > Cache Management > Purge 100% Previews in Cache.

Select OK.
