Can you delete Premiere Pro preview files?
The short answer is yes, they can be deleted without causing any harm. As Jim says, yes. In fact, I keep my cache and preview files on a separate drive, making it easy to delete them all at one time and then defrag the drive with nothing to speak of on it.
How do I clean up my Premiere Pro files?
OK, here’s the process.
- 1: Close Premiere. You can use a keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Q (Mac: Cmd + Q).
- 2: Double-click on the Premiere Pro icon to open the program.
- 3: A moment after clicking on the icon hold Alt + Shift (Mac: Option + Shift). It should clear Preferences and Plug-in Cache.
Is it safe to delete Pek files?
PEK files are generally created alongside a . CFA file, which contains audio data in an optimized format. You can delete PEK and CFA files, and the software will regenerate them the next time the data is needed unless the option to turn off caching is set in the application.

Why are my words blurry in Premiere Pro?
The problem is likely your sequence settings combined with your export settings. In your Export Settings you have Match Source chosen, which is showing that your sequence is DVCPRO HD and interlaced.
Why does Exporting take so long premiere?
As long as you use the same settings for both exports, Premiere will be able to copy the compressed data straight from your exported file into your second exported file. All that it has to render is what’s changed, and so it exports extremely quickly.
Is there a way to clean out Adobe Premiere cache?
Here’s a little trick I learned a month ago on how to clear out your Adobe Premiere disk Cache. Premiere holds a bunch of unwanted files on your HDD from previous projects – cleaning out the cache will overall speed up your computer and free up a bulk of disk space.
There’s the location, and a convenient CLEAN button we should press regularly, especially because by default this location happens to be on the system drive. To avoid running out of space, feel free to use another drive for the cache database (via the browse option). Thanks to Jan Ozer for this tip!
Where are temp files saved in Adobe Premiere Pro?
Premiere writes a lot of temp files to various locations – the most obvious of those are saved at the same location as the current project, in a folder simply called Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files. If you delete an old project, make sure to delete this folder too.
How much disk space does Adobe Premiere use?
Premiere doesn’t seem to clean up those files just to free up your valuable drives. Yes, when you have a project, those cache files makes sense but they seem to stay even after a project is deleted. Right now, in my computer, I can see that around 50 GB (49.9 GB) of storage is used up by the Media Cache Database.
