when i have UE4 open, it seems to constaly use space on my C-Drive, without freeing up the space after i close the editor, this has caused my C-Drive to become almost full…

or what more information i can provide to help this thread?

Did you check your Derived data cache in your current UE4 version folder? Mine was 24G, you can delete it, it will just take more time next time you load your project to reload everything but mine was then at 800Mo.

If it don’t come from there, check your Saved folder, if you don’t need backup you can delete the autosaves, backup and crashes, I just checked mine, crashes was 3.40G…

this plus that should help
