Windows 10 AppData directory -- Junk files?

[geek@02]

> Spotify takes like 4GBs in AppData folder,
How many songs have you downloaded / listened to?

Download procmon from sysinternals.com, and set a filter to watch for files being opened in appdata\spotify

Listen to a new song.
Listen to a song you've previously listened to.

Study spotify's usage of files in it's appdata directory.

Study the directory structure, figure out what are necessary data files (like your passwords, licences whatever) and what are just leftover audio fragments from stuff you've heard before.

If they're in a directory called 'cache', then you can usually delete them - at the expense of having to download them again at some future time if you listen to the same thing over and over.

Thanks for the reply!

I dont download songs, I just listen to a lot (and record while listening, which is not relevent to Appdata storage). Yes, Maybe it's storing stuff that I'm listening to. I'll do what you're suggesting with procmon. I suppose deleting data in cache is probably ok, since I don't download songs.

I'll update after doing above mentioned things.

Thx.
