Dolphin Took up 3 Gigabytes on my SSD After a crash

[Creeper Of Doom]

Hello. I ripped the wad of Grill Off with ultra hand using wii mod lite on my wii u and installed it on dolphin. i then opened the game and it gave me the error (Failed to submit command buffer) i clicked ok. nothing happened. i restarted my computer. when i rebooted i noticed 3 gigabytes gone. this happened to me a few months ago and i had to reset to get this space back. where is this file located because i want to delete it but i cant find it anywhere, its not in dolphins exe folder, or the Dolphin Emulator folder in documents..

Disk Cleanup should handle that. Have you tried it?

i ran it, the space is still taken up. i dont see the 3 gigabyte file in the cleanup tool

Shaders cache ? I disable that for my Nvidia GPU, it's in Appdata...

i dont see the file anywhere in there. i use intel hd graphics (core i5 10th generation) dolphin runs fine normally

This one works well to find files to delete :

i only find 1 folder in my cache directory in appdata local. which was only a few megabytes. if i remember. i was using vulkan so i dont know if it had anything to do with that

ive still been looking for it all over my ssd. even booted into linux to find hidden directories. no luck. i suppose my only choice is to reset windows yet again. and also now when it crashes 3 gigabytes arent taken anymore but the file is still there so i dont know?...

Have you tried using a tool like WinDirStat or Folder Size to see if you've got any surprisingly large directories? If one's three gigabytes bigger than you expect, it's probably got the unwanted file in it.

It happened again. dolphin crashed while loading. and this time 2 gigabytes dissapeared. i dont know whats happening. because im using vulkan. i dont know if dolphin has to do with something or vulkan
