This is worse than the other serious bug I've been dealing with today in Lightroom.
TL/DR, using Lightroom's import function creates huge amounts of crap video cache files in at least two buried directories regardless if those video files are imported into LR or not. I had a 5-6 GB photo library and 262GB of cache files for video I had not imported. The application has a cache limit, and blew by mine by a factor of 87. Cache purging does not delete the data either.
Anyway, not releated to this particular bug, but I'm not feeling much love for Adobe today.

- kevingadd 11y agoOh my god, I didn't notice this until you mentioned it. The lightroom cache contained a full copy of every video file on my hard drive - over 250GB.
- rabboRubble 11y agoGot ya beat. LR had multiple cache files of all my video files. I have multiple point in time backups of my key data. I also have a fracked up photo library due to a pre-CrashPlan operator error that deleted some important pictures. So I've been running the import process over these point in time back ups to restore. So my cache file directory looked like this: Stupid_video_cache_in_Lightroom.whatever Stupid_video_cache_in_Lightroom_(1).whatever Stupid_video_cache_in_Lightroom_(2).whatever Stupid_video_cache_in_Lightroom_(3).whatever Stupid_video_cache_in_Lightroom_(n).whatever Kill me now...
- SiVal 11y agoWhere are these buried cache files? I need to check this out, and I'd like to either find them or be sure I don't have them.
- rabboRubble 11y agoDepends on your OS. Mac OS X, check: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files /Users/username/Library/Caches/Adobe/Lightroom/Video/Media Cache Files Windows, you'll have to trawl this thread for probable locations: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom-6-2-1-video-cache-is-out-of-conttrol-major-bug-report https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/light...
