*How to Delete Cache Files*
Many may already know about this...but some may not.
Each time you open a file in PSP & AS, a 'copy' of that file goes into a "Cache Folder", and over time, (doesn't take very long), these files begin to build up and take up storage space, and really bog-down your computer, and eventually, your Programs will start to "crash" (where it shuts-down and you have to keep re-starting it)....especially if you have an older computer that does not have alot of RAM or GB. <resources & space>
I've read many times how to delete Cache Files in PSP7, but never knew how to in PSP8 since it does not have a Cache File. I found out how today, and boy...what a difference it made!!! (and I have 120GB)
I have mine set, so each time I exit PSP, it automatically deletes all Cache files! WOOHOO!!! Soooooooo, for anyone else who doesn't know about this, or how to do it, here are the instructions for both Versions 7&8.Hope this helps someone else...sure did me!
If you are running PSP7
Go to C:/ProgramFiles/JascSoftwareInc/PaintShopPro/Cache
Open the Cache Folder, go to Edit/SelectAll/File/Delete
Make sure you only delete files inside the Cache folder and not the Cache Folder itself. You should do this regularly. It will rebuild itself, the next time you open PSP.
If you are running PSP8
In PSP8, there is no Cache Folder. To empty the Cache, go to
File/Preferences/ResetPreferences
Check: Delete All Cache Files
OK
When you load up PSP, the next time it will be alittle slow to start, but it will rebuild.
Also:If you have PSP open for a while, it is a good idea to empty the history & clipboard every so often. Edit>Empty Command History and Edit>Empty Clipboard, this frees up memory.
