I finished uploading my files to Google Drive using File Stream and don't have anything marked to be kept local. Still, GDFS keeps around 40GB of cache files.
Here are the things I tried to make it clean it up:
- Ejected the drive, logged out, closed the app, opened the app, logged in;
- Restarted the computer;
- Added/deleted more files to see if it would "refresh";
- Changed the cache folder location in preferences. It transferred all files and still left 1GB in the older folder [facepalm];
- A combination of the things above in different order.
I think I can just delete the cache folder but it's something I don't want to do. How can I force it to delete? More importantly, is this the expected behaviour?
I'm using macOS 10.12.6
1Thank you, @Heinzelmann! I had a number of computers with this issue and found that in order for the registry patch to work, Drive File Stream had to be uninstalled and the cache directory emptied before updating the registry and then reinstalling FS. – Miles Wolbe – 2019-09-29T19:11:44.753
