Issue:
How to clear the cache of the Forma Data Management (Formerly Autodesk Docs) Desktop Connector to free up local disk space.
Solution:
Use the Free up Space tool to clear out the local cache.
- This feature can be used at the account, project, project folder, or individual file level.
- Using the feature on the account level will likely clear much disk space; using the feature on an individual file will only clear the individual files.
- Right-click the corresponding level in the Forma Data Management drive in Windows Explorer and select "Free up Space" and the local disk space will be released immediately.
- Files from Forma Data Management will be downloaded again "on demand" after they are opened.
Note: If the purpose is to reset the Desktop Connector cache for troubleshooting, refer to the corresponding article under "See also".
