Re: [Avid-L2] Where does the cache file for Resolve end up?

I have a separate internal raid for smart cache.  definitely don't do that on your boot or project drive. The screen proxies (or whatever they're called) are typically in the same place.  When you delete cache, often the proxies go offline- creating the appearance that the project is offline.  I've never Bothered to figure out how To force those to refresh.

Pretty sure that's all in the 1,000+ page manual somewhere.  ;-)

I cleaned off my SSD startup partition a week ago.  I got rid of 40GB of Avid Attic alone.  Now a week later it's almost full but I've added nothing.  I've been making IMFs with Resolve and doing a little Avid but I've not added any media to the startup partition but yesterday it only had 22GB free and today it says 2.58GB free.  I've been watching down the IMFs so I'm not real clear on Resolve's handling of optimized media or it's cache scenario.  I can't think of anything else that would be filling up the startup partition.  Where would I hunt for Resolve caching of media and why would Resolve be doing that when I'm only making IMFs from wav stems and DPX files?  I've done this before without noticing this issue.

Is there some sort of cache clear function in Resolve?

I just found the clip cache in users/admin/documents/cacheclip and it was big.  I deleted it then I went back to the project and unchecked use optimized media if available.  Then some of my imf sequence said it was offline.  Then I found in the same Playback Tool Menu Delete Render Cache so I deleted all then everything came back on line.  I guess because I manually deleted files in the cacheclip the project got confused.  I suppose in the future I leave the smart cache off unless I need it.  Am I correct that delete renders was the function I was not doing and also that it was because I turned on smart cache that this folder got big?  I know this is more a Resolve thing but many of you have way more Resolve stick time than I do.
