Clearing your cache

To efficiently manage your converted media files, you need to clear your .cache folder on a regular basis to remove files that are no longer used, are outdated, or are problematic. You can choose to clear all converted media files from the cache or only the orphan files. You might want to clear your cache in the following situations:

After you have deleted a Wwise object - The converted media files or orphans are no longer needed, but are still associated with the objects and will remain in your cache folder until you manually clear them. In this case, you might only want to clear these files.
A platform conversion may have produced poor quality results - You want to start over by flushing the converted files for the platform.
The final version of language files are delivered - You want only the newly converted files in your cache.

Only the converted media files in your .cache folder are deleted in this operation. The Originals folder remains intact.

	Caution
	Clearing your cache cannot be undone.

To clear the project cache:

From the menu bar, click Project > Clear Audio File Cache.
In the Clear Audio File Cache dialog, select the files to clear:
- Only orphan files: Clears all converted media files in the .cache folder that are not currently associated with an object.
- All converted files: Clears all converted media files in the .cache folder.
Click Clear Cache.
The Clearing Audio File Cache dialog opens where you can view the clearing process.
