Capcut consuming all free hard disk space on Windows computer.

Capcut is an excellent video editing program which I enjoy using. One issue I've found however is Capcut ends up filling up your hard disk and there appears to be no way to remove the excess files using the user interface.

What happens is when you produce a video the video is produce to the resolution requested, but then at the end a second video is produced for use on Tiktok. Capcup has been developed by Bytedance which also is the creator of Tiktok.

The problem is these automatically produced videos for Tiktok don't appear anywhere, where you can delete them. The only way I've found to remove the files is to go into the folder and manually delete the files. It's not great, but a trade-off I'm happy to accept since Capcut makes my life easier.

If you have a problem with Capcut consuming all your hard disk under Windows, you can find the files created for Tiktok in the folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\CapCut\User Data\Cache\SmartCrop.

Simply select all the files and delete them if you're not using them.
