Find the file types that take up space first, and then process temporary files that can be reconstructed. Don't directly delete system directories you don't understand.
Understand the essentials
Material copies, downloads, caches, and exported files may be occupied repeatedly; the system disk and data disk may also be full separately.
A practical example
Hypothetical example: the video project has a large cache, but deleting the original material will destroy the project. The two must be distinguished.
What to check or try
- Check the remaining space of each disk.
- Locate files by size.
- Back up important results.
- Use the cache cleaning method supported by the application.
Before organizing, you can make a directory list and mark the rebuildable cache, exported results and unique source files. Clean according to the application's own instructions, and then open the representative project after cleaning. When an abnormality is discovered, deletion is stopped and the recoverable state is retained.
An easy-to-miss detail
Cloud resource expansion and release may also have cost or data implications. Please read the prompts carefully before operating.
