If I have deleted/moved/renamed folders of Photos (using Windows Explorer) that the Photoshop File Browser had created cache entries for, does Photoshop ever find these cache entries and remove them (or can I manually tell PS to go clean up after itself)? If not, is there a way to selectively find and remove these entries?
That seems like a royal pain anyway …. so I’m considering purging the entire cache (it’s 1.13GBs). I occasionally clean shop (perhaps once or twice a year) and that involves moving, deleting, and renaming folders (and their files), so my guess is that a lot of that 1.13 GBs is wasted space. I have always used Windows Explorer to do this so I can shift-delete, if need be, and bypass the recycle bin. Perhaps I should always use the PS File Browser (from now on), but it’s too late at this point.
I have one folder – C:/Photos – that has the VAST majority of my photo files in it – 32 GBytes. If I Purge the entire cache and then want to rebuild it for that folder (32 GBs in 718 folders, 19,000 files), how long might it take … roughly (overnight, 1 hour, 2days)?
….. I assume that if I select C:/Photos and then Build Cache for all Subfolders, that is what it will do.
Is that my best recourse? Has anyone experience with rebuilding the cache on this scale?
