80GB cache?

I now have only 9 GB free on my 256 GB C-Windows drive. Since I first installed iMatch and then created 4 databases, I now have a cache of just over 80GB. Can I safely delete that, or otherwise limit the size.

Again, I am just starting out with iMatch and to some extent, I learn about new software by just trying out features. Soon enough, I will change my approach and RTFM. (watch some videos, etc.)

Got it. Maybe an excuse to upgrade from 64 GB to 128 GB of RAM.

IMatch does not need much RAM. Even for large databases, IMatch stays below 1GB RAM usage.
It can utilize more RAM in the Viewer, for preloading images.
