Can I delete these files? scene_xxxx_meshes

Post by Bosseye » Wed Jul 12, 2017 9:11 pm

I've just switched to an SSD as my main drive, so space is a premium. I've done a lot of clearing up of stuff I don;t need but running a file program identifies the Indigo 'server_network_cache' folder as a culprit. It has 25gb in it made up of hundreds of called:

scene_8804_meshes
scene_8536_meshes
scene_7164_meshes


...and so on and so forth. What are these? Can they be safely deleted?

I'm using network rendering, I guessed (probably incorrectly) that they're stuff that gets saved down from passing the data back and forth between the slave PCs and my main PC and can probably be deleted, but thought I would check.

Thanks

yes, this is save to delete. If needed for some future Project, Indigo will simply create new cache files...
Its common, that this folder gets very big over the moths of intense network rendering and changing projects :)
