Application Manager cache

Hi!

Can someone look into the cache folder of the Application Manager?
On the Mac it´s located in Macintosh HD/Library/Caches/Avid/AppManager.

In the "Downloads" ans "EX" folders i found some installation packages i downloaded via the App Manager. But why is it still in there and wastes harddisk space for about 2GB(!!!)? :eek::eek:

Can you delete the folder /Avid (including AppManager) without it affecting Pro Tools?

Re: Application Manager cache

I have an answer...On Mac, while running in "AvidApplicationManager.app", go to "Preferences" and click on the "Clear Cache Files" button. This empties the following folders to clear space on your startup drive...I tested it myself:

STARUP DRIVE/Library/Caches/Avid/AppManager/Downloads
STARUP DRIVE/Library/Caches/Avid/AppManager/Cache

you can safely delete content inside both folders
