Very Large "ROAMING" folder

Get Help Tech Support
1

Lately I realized that my SSD was almost completely full and I couldn’t explain why.

Checking I agreed that the folder
User / myname / AppData / Roaming / D5 Render
It even weighs 50gb.
Is there anything I can do to “clean” these files?
Or are they necessary for the program to work?
Being in the AppData folder I think they are files that could be removed but before doing any damage I ask if anyone has the same problem and if they know how to solve

Hi there,

  1. If the reason for the C Drive occupation is that there are too many local library resources, you can use the “move assets to a new location” function.
  2. If not, you could try to uninstall and then reinstall on the D Drive, or another non-C Drive.

Thanks so much for the tip.
I checked and my personal library weighs “only” 4.68 GB.
The greatest weight I find in the folder
“C: \ Users \ MyName \ AppData \ Roaming \ D5 Render \ d5_immerse \ content”
Even 43.6 GB.
Checking in the folder I noticed in particular 4 very heavy subfolders:

  • 7,06GB for “d” folder; which seems to me to contain textures and previews of all my D5 render works, even the very old ones.

  • 12,5GB for “paks \ f” folder; in which there are indeed many “.pak” files, they will probably be the contents of the software and therefore indispensable for operation.

  • 5GB for “ModelTextures” folder; here too I see textures of the various models imported into the software.

  • 16GB for “um” folder; more texture and render prewiew.

From what I understand it seems to me that only the “paks” folder is really essential for the software to work, the remaining files are residues of the various loaded projects that often unnecessarily burden the PC.
Is there a way to clean up?
Will I lose my local materials and models if I uninstall D5 render?
If I install it on a HDD the program will work worse than it does now, which is installed on an M2 nvme?
I apologize for the many questions, but I am curious in general and would also like to help as I can to improve the program

Hi Anitonio,

  1. If your network is fast for downloading assets in D5 built-in library, I suggest you to reinstall D5 Render in other non-C Drive. And you need to download again for those online assets in D5 library. As for your local models, please use “move assets to a new location” function to other path before uninstall.

  2. If it’s inconvenient for you to download those model again, files in "d folder/mdoelTexture folder " could be cleaned up.

Hope it helps!
Thank you for the feedback

I have a 1GB network so I have no connection problems.
I have already moved my Assets but the 3d models have been lost.
It only moved the textures but not the various 3d models that have been lost completely. I do not know why.
In either case I will reinstall the software on a different disk.
Thank you very much for your availability

Did you use the “move to a new location “ function in D5 Render to move all the models in your Local Category? And all of them are lost?
