Clearing entire tileset cache
« on: December 11, 2010, 09:48:51 AM »
Hi,

My hard drive is almost full, and so I need to clear my (likely) very large tileset cache.  Does anyone know how to do this, or the path where these tilesets are typically stored on a drive?

Thanks!

Joe,

Scott describes the cache files in this post.

Looks like the files are in the "Directory for Map Data" location that is defined in "Options > Preferences > General".

Thanks Mike.  Yep, just delete those files and you'll start a new cache fresh.

Thanks!  I did this, and at first Topofusion wouldn't work anymore.  I would get an error message to delete one of the files I had already deleted.  I then searched my computer and found these files at two other locations on my computer.  I deleted both of them, and then Topofusion worked fine again.  I'm not sure why these Topofusion files were at more than one location on my computer, as I believe I have only ever installed it at one location (the default).  Anyway, thanks!  Joe

If you uninstalled and reinstalled you might have picked up the new default location for maps when it was changed several versions back.  That would explain maps in one other location, but not two!  Anyway, deleting them all was the right thing to do.
