October 14, 20241 yr Hi, My cache drive appears to be gradually filling up, despite it being used for downloads, and my moving them out of the drive when they are completed and checked. At present, 35GB of 500GB is used. How do I find out what is gradually taking up space on my cache drive? And eventually remove / stop it?
October 15, 20241 yr Community Expert That does not seem a lot! You are likely to get better informed feedback if you attach your system’s diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread. It is always a good idea when asking questions to supply your diagnostics so we can see details of your system, how you have things configured, and the current syslog.
October 21, 20241 yr Author Thank you, and apologies for the delayed reply. I've attached my diagnostics file. Is there anything in there that indicates what the problem might be? stardust-diagnostics-20241021-1933.zip
October 30, 20241 yr Author Hi @itimpi, did you get a chance to look at my diagnostic file? The cache drive is now showing 125GB used, although I cannot find any files in it to delete.

Is that the one taking up space. you could try going to the Shares tab and clicking the Compute All button to see how much space each share is using on the drives.
November 1, 20241 yr Author There was a folder in there called ".Trash-99", this was acting like a recycle folder for deleted files, but not clearing out automatically. I have cleared it out manually now, and cache is much clearer. Thank you!
