Just a reminder to check out your DazTmp folder.  (where Carrara keeps and images and movies you don' t save but have rendered) Been awhile since I looked in mine and it was worth several Gigs of space recovery. 

Wish I'd remembered that before doing an online backup!

I thought that the not recorded renders were automatically deleted from the file .tmp, but I realized that it was not always the case.
Why? it is a mystery for me…
I find even sometimes half images rendered!

It's easy to forget about the daztemp folder.  So I put a shortcut to that folder on my desktop.  That way it's in your face all the time and easy to monitor.

6.5 gig. Even though I am not doing a lot of work, what I am doing is some weavy scenes. I've got 2Tbites so I don't worry with space often lol

Good advice Mark

I keep mine cleaned out, especially before I do an important batch render.
