Big C:/Users/Me/AppData/Roaming/Processing folder

edited December 2016 in Using Processing

Hi,

Been using Processing on this PC for a couple of years now, and have just noticed that the folder C:/Users/Me/AppData/Roaming/Processing has grown to 11.4GB.

Are these just temp files I can delete? Been doing lots of rendering frames, so I guess that be something to do with it?!?

Thanks

Mike

    Processing always creates temp files every time you hit run in Processing. You can open any of those folder and you will see that will contain older sketches or .java files of your sketches. They are safe to be removed. To play in the safe side, moved the files to an alternate folder for few days and if everything looks good, then erase them. If they are in a temp folder then they should be erased to release HD space.

    When you move the temp folders, run a cpl of sketches and check that temp so you can see for yourself what is happening. I usually clean that folder every week.
