Hello SDL Support,

I am working on a project in Trados Studio that includes about 1,600 files. As part of my workflow, I exported the No Match files from the project.

After this operation, I noticed that:

• The available space on my C: drive decreased by approximately 10 GB.

• My PC has become noticeably slower, especially during startup.

My questions are:

1. What exactly happens in the background when Trados Studio processes and exports project files?

   • Does Trados generate large temporary files or cache data during this step?

2. Where are these temporary files stored, and how can I safely delete them to recover disk space without damaging my projects?

3. Is there a recommended method (within Trados or Windows) for cleaning up these files after completing a large project?

I would appreciate your guidance on how to manage these temporary files and prevent performance issues.

Thank you for your support.
