Preview folder is BIG

Hello

I was used to use a previous (old) version of Capture One on WinXP. Now I use CaptureOne LE for Mac.
I have a problem with preview folders (and also thumbnails)

For each directories where I have RAW files, this directories are created. files are inserted. There is no way in the pref to make this files deleted after 1 week or 1 month of no use (as I was use to have on my old PC version)
This directories avec Very Big ! One directory of 150 RAW files is about 750 Mb Preview folder is 300Mb and thumbnails is 30Mb
This is amazing !!! ❓ Is there any way to make this directories temporary ? ❓ If not I'll need to browse my RAW directories each week to mannualy delete them, I can't afford to grow by 50% my backup hard drives !!!

Very disapointing

any help will be appreciated

Frederic,

The only folders to keep are the RAW Captures and the ImageSettings folders.
When you are done working on a Session, simply remove the unwanted files.
To retain all the image adjustment data, save the ImageSettings folder only.
If you ever need to work on this Session again, Thumbnails and Previews will rebuild new.
When the saved ImageSettings folder is replaced, the images will take on all the adjustments made previously.

Regards,
k c
