Previews.Irdata file catalog Lightroom, empty the cache memory Previews

Previews.Irdata file catalog Lightroom, I have 2000 files in 8 GB in this folder.  Is it safe to delete?  Is there a better way to clear my cache Previews?

Hi kurth,.

No, you should not remove this folder because it contains previews of all the images in your Lightroom Catalog.

If you remove this folder, Lightroom will start automatically re-create as you work on images in the catalog should be previews.

If you want to optimize your catalog, you can refer to this article: How to improve and accelerate the performance of Photoshop Lightroom

Kind regards

  • How many times should I empty the cache memory?

    I had problems with various Web sites and on other users advice made a full cache clear. I noticed an immediate improvement in the speed of loading pages. Do you have this help and if yes how often should I clean the cache? It is 420MB.

    Thank you

    I don't see how that can possibly be associated with the cache. The cache contains files from Web sites, such as images, scripts and style sheets. So when you visit a page you have already visited, you do not need to download everything again. The cache allows the pages to load faster, not slower.

    The cache is a fixed size, as well as the files are automatically deleted as new ones are cached. Unless you have to have some sort of issue as Web sites to research wrong, there is no need to delete it manually.

  • Is empty the cache broken in the last update?

    In following these instructions in the past, empty the cache takes 5 minutes and when restarting it would go while "Optimizing the app xx xx" and take a long time.

    I tried this tonight and the wipe cache in the recovery takes about 5 seconds, weird, but I continued and restarted. It starts normally and was in the lock screen in under 2 minutes, with no sign of the optimization of applications. So I rebooted and tried again, same result, Journal practically the same cache. A second wipe cache in a row without restarting the computer gives the same results without the entries "blk".

    This does not seem normal.

  • I suddenly can't all sites that I use every day on Firefox to load. I tried to empty the cache. No difference. How can I fix it?

    I use Firefox every day to access many sites. Yesterday, it worked perfectly. Today, that it won't work at all. I just get "Unable to connect" message when I try to load websites - and sites work on other programs (even if I need to use firefox to do certain things on some of them...) so it is not a problem of internet access. I read the help articles and they help at all. I tried to empty the cache. It makes no difference. I tried to check that no proxy is highlighted under the advanced access settings. It is, and see which makes no difference. I tried looking to see if Firefox is permitted to access the web through my windows computer - but I can't say what program he would need to connect. And I have not changed my settings since yesterday - when it worked perfectly (or seems to). That shouldn't be the problem.
    Ive wasted most of the fights with this morning. What the hell is going on here and how can I solve this problem?

    Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox - firefox 23 was released yesterday: solve connection problems to websites after Firefox update

    Hi it fire fox help,.
    I read the page on "how to empty the cache", but this is not sewing to all clear.

    When I'm editing a Web site on my computer and view the changes through fire fox everything works fine, I just hit refresh.
    But when test websites online changes (after unloading it) I don't see any change, using the Refresh button is no help and clear the cache is not helping either.
    I get very frustrated with what I then change the name of the web page just to have fire fox to refresh it properly and then change it back again.

    Thanks for your time, Max

    Reload a web page and the cache with avoidance:

    • Hold SHIFT and click reload.
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Cmd + Shift + R' (MAC)

  • Checked "Empty the Cache on exit" in Firefox 25. Now it hangs at startup. Is there a way to disable this setting apart from Firefox?

    Yesterday, I decided to check the 'Clear Cache leaving' parameter. This morning I couldn't start Firefox. It hangs and stays like that. I saw another post somewhere on this same issue. I created a new profile and it worked well. He's just stuck when I try to use my old profile. It doesn't work in either safe mode. Y at - it anyway to disable this option outside of Firefox.

    I also tried without downgrading to 24 and upgrade to the beta 26. None worked.

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Rename or remove the file prefs.js and numbered possible prefs-# .js and the file user.js to reset all default prefs.

    You can try to clear the cache manually on the disk.

    View topic: cache for the location page.

    It is best to avoid using external programs to clean your Firefox data and use integrated means that Firefox instead.
