Lightroom 6 | Importing videos increases "Media Cache Files" folder size out of limits?

Question

I recently installed Lightroom 6, I'm a new user. When I import all my photos (a folder 'Photos' with more than 50000 photos and videos) to my catalogue the folder C:\\Users\\{myuser}\\AppData\\Local\\Adobe\\Lightroom\\Caches\\Video\\Media Cache Files start to increase its size and I finish without space in my SSD Drive.What can I do?- Is it possible to disable the video cache?- Or I will have to disable the video files import? How?Thx

Hi!

you can't disable the video cache, but you can limit its size. In Preferences/Performance, there's a section "Video Cache Settings".

Checked the box "Limit Video Cache Size" and set it to whatever size will work for you.

Hope to help
