Re: DCCache exceeding 280GB

Just wanted to say quickly thanks so much for your help Puzzle, you're a lifesaver!

I've also discovered something that'll be beneficial for anyone who may be experiencing what I had experienced. OneDrive may be the culprit, but it turns out it wasn't for me. In fact, it's actually from my computer itself - File History is a built-in syncing system in the PC. If you search 'File History' on your computer, you'd discover that there are many options like how often and what drives to sync. For me, it was syncing my D drive every hour, hence why it became so full, and why every time I freed up space, it'd be gone within the hour.

I turned off File History and it's been fine since, but you could alternatively have it sync another drive or change its frequency, perhaps to every month. If it's getting to the point where it's exceeding three digits in GB's though, I'd highly recommend turning it off outright. 


So, TL;DR - If you've activated OneDrive on your PC, it's probably OneDrive. If you haven't, it's probably File History. But check both to be sure.
