Library Cache for Adobe Bridge CS4

I'm trying to clear up space on my harddrive for my macbook, and in my library folder, there is a cache folder which then has various adobe products.?The Adobe Bridge CS4 folder has almost 20 GB of stuff in it.?Can I get rid of this (safe to delete)??Why does it build up so much??Do I need to periodically manage this manually??Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.?Thanks!

Library Cache for Adobe Bridge CS4

The cache folder for Bridge can grow to huge proportions because it keeps

information for all earlier cached files. After quitting Bridge you can

delete this folder (user library/caches /Adobe/Bridge CS4/cache) by dragging

this to the trash and empty bin to make space on your HD.

Restarting Bridge creates a brand new cache folder in this place but this

one is empty. Therefore you will need to recache all files you want to show

at high quality in the preview window again because with deleting this data

the cache with all previews (including the HQ preview that are mainly

responsible for the huge size) from previous cached files will also be gone.

Personally I use this method on a regular base including restarting Bridge

holding down option key to refresh preferences, this gives a fresh start for

Bridge.

I mainly use Bridge for sorting, rating and adding metadata and once the DNG

files I want have been developed they are transferred to my archive and

don't need to be in the cache file anymore

So with keep in mind that you need to recache the current files you are

using (takes some time depending on amount and size of the files you can

safely delete the current huge cache file.

Can I get rid of this (safe to delete)??Why does it build up so much??Do I

need to periodically manage this manually??/p>
