Menu > User Preferences > Bottom of the Performance tab "Caching", you'll see the size used and you can use "Clear Cache" to empty it.

Like you I have VaM on another disc but I don't have any problems with 'C' filling up. I did a 'search' for 'VAM' on 'C' and found a few VaM related items but nothing substantial. 'C' is used for storing screen recordings (unless you change that location) and anything on your Desktop.

Hipper, trying to help is always welcome, but it's also sometimes not useful to not add on top if it's not needed, especially if the information is not really useful or right. C:/ is generally the system drive (ie: windows), anything can be on the C:/ drive, from the system itself, to apps to games to data and user profiles.

The thing is Yarnybasi specifically said he was having issues with his 'C' drive filling up and his VaM cache was on his 'F' drive. Unless I'm missing something, his problem is not the VaM cache? I therefore hinted that a search for 'VAM' on the 'C' drive might find some material he wasn't aware of. Of course there may be something else going on but from the information given my suggestion seems to me reasonable.

I'm just saying that the system drive ( 99.9% of the time, C: ) is not just used for screen recording (which also does not mean much because there are 20 different ways of recording the screen). And VAM also writes logs to the C drive without you being able to change that path. This is far stretched but maybe he could have a thing spamming the log all the time and write insane amount of logs on the C drive (which would requires hours of play time tho because text is not that big).

The log folder is title "meshedvr" and is in the User directory (where your windows profile is)
