Stop to save endless artboard preview thumbnail on Windows local cache file
Every day i use XD for prototyping, but unfortunatly every day XD take more space on my hard drive and windows don't have enought system memory to work properly...
I located a local directory who growth every day on : C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\Adobe.CC.XD_adky2gkssdxte\LocalCache\Adobe\ACPLocal\2682204294\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\
This directory contain one folder by local/cloud opened project, and each folder contain thousands of exactly the same png thumbnail of each project preview...
for example, each minute XD save almost about thirty thumbnail files and each image can weigh up to 90 kb.
every day adobe XD takes extra of 2/3gb or more of my storage, and app can take to 40/50go even more...
and need to be clean up, otherwise XD can growth up to an unlimited size...
Thanks to fix this problem or cleanup this directory on close because our storage is not unlimited, and XD slow down all windows system by taken all storage. we can't even launch another adobe app like photoshop/illustrator on he same time....
FYI: Yesterday i delete 8go of thumbnails images in this directory....
PS: Capture was thumbnails generated only for 3 hours of work on one project and i try to minimize xd storage impact by creating a tiny thumbnail with 16x16 unused main artboard on xd.
Thanks for filing a ticket! This seems like a bug and not a feature request, so you should definitely file this on the Community Support Forum. https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/bd-p/xd?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all

... or at least give us the option to set the drive/directory for the cache.
