hi guys still fairly new to plex and was wondering where the transcoder temporery files are stored does anyone know ? and also are these files permenent on my system even if i delete the movie ? to add also so your aware at the moment im using it default which is just a blank text box. appreciate …

In the subfolder ..\Cache\Transcode

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Cache\Transcode\Sessions is this them please ?

Yes, that’s the one. Unless you have relocated your Plex data folder with the registry key: [HowTo] An extended guide on how to move the Plex data folder on Windows

ok thank you for replying so quick, i appreciate it , so do these files just keep building and building and need deleting every so often ?

No, as I already explained above, they will be cleared out after the playback is finished.

ah ok and if i delete a movie from my library will that cache go along with it , or does it remain there ? thanks

It will be gone, long before that.

[image] OttoKerner: it is usually emptied if you press Stop in the client. Unless you delete the movie while the very same movie is being played, the transcoder temp location will always be empty.
