That was more than dumb. But Adobe is obsessed with this idea of creating tons of temp files for you to edit video. So I acquired a habit to delete those temp cached files after each project is done. Yeah you have to manually monitored the temp folder to delete those old project cached files.

Now that I've taken a look in the Media Cache Files folder on my portable drive, I've discovered that Premiere has wasted over 29 gigabytes of space by keeping old versions of conformed audio, audio peak files, and indexed video files on the disk each time it re-configures or re-indexes. That's *really* dumb! Not only has Premiere found the previous versions of the files so it could renumber the new files accordingly, but it completely ignored them and ground through everything once again. Then it left all the old ones in place to eat up disk space. I just removed all the old versions, fired up the project, and it runs just find without re-configuring or re-indexing. Some Adobe engineer somewhere has a lot of explaining to do.
