mabisig Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Hello everybody Has anyone else noticed Affinity Photo taking up absurd amounts of storage??? Is it safe to delete some files from the library folder? I am assuming it's just accumulated temporary files. Thankful for any kind of help, my storage is almost full :(( Is there a way to safe the user settings/ ui presets etc in case I would have to reinstall Affinity Photo? My Mac is on Sonoma 14.6.1 Affinity Photo is on 2.5.5 -Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabisig Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 It resolved itself now by itself, but still I ask myself how it can happen that it bloats up so much after trying to place 40 raw files (=1.0gb). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Welcome to the forums @mabisig One way that this can happen is if you create a new document and place (embedded) lots of large images into that document. Each image becomes ‘part of’ the document and the software maintains a ‘recovery version’ of the document within itself until the document is either saved or the application is opened and the recovery version is dismissed. Therefore, after you have created (or edited) a document, before you save it, the application may contain a large recovery document inside itself just in case it’s needed. When the recovery document isn’t needed, the application will delete it and space will be recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
