C4D 2023 Creates a folder with almost 40gb of .b3d files ?! What is it for ?

Hello, I'm tidying up my drive and i found a folder that was created with the latest update (2023.2.1) in this dir:

C:\Users\######\AppData\Roaming\MAXON\Cinema 4D 2023_BF683D7D\prefs\pv

 

Thats almost 40gb. Anyone one knows if that is needed for anything ? I can't remember downloading that much when it was updating.

I don't have that pv folder in the equivalent path in any of my C4D installs. Could stand for Picture Viewer maybe, or perhaps Previous Version ?

Can't think why it is so big. I think perhaps only Maxon can answer this, either here or in a support ticket...

Thats 99% likely the picture viewer cache. It should empty after you close the app, so maybe you had a crash. If you open your prefs and go to the memory section, you can see the path and the max file size.

 

Basically youre safe to delete them

It was picture viewer cache. I checked it when i was rendring and it did fill up. But when c4d is closed i think it deletes that folder. Thanks for answers.
