OUch.....

It would be cool to have a warning, or something.... 3dsMax / 2021 - 64 bit / ENU / temp / OctaneCache ------------> 100 Go !!!

Easy to forget that I eat 100 Go on my disk system.

Hi HHbomb,
Thanks for reporting this.
I'll add some options with a size limit, warnings, and ways to clear part or all of the cache.

Note that the OctaneCache folder is used to cache the material editor previews of textures and material, and avoid re-render each material when opening the material editor, etc..
The settings to enable / set the location of this folder are in Octane Preferences, Material tab.
The "Clear cache..." button currently clears only the data for the current scene.
You can browse the folder of the current scene with the context menu on this button (right click), then delete more / all folders.
The default location is something like
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2022 - 64bit\ENU\temp\OctaneCache
Thanks
