DeLayDesign Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I mean; it's probably useful because it helps to free up space, but I had no idea what it was going to do and it took a good bit of time. So - maybe don't click it unless you're prepared to sit for a few minutes while it does a clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 What does it do, does it get the dust bunnies under the bed too? Because my vacuum lady never gets those. Oops, here she comes... Ow, oof, OW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLayDesign Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 ha! @Chrisb222. Apparently it works like a 'disc clean up' on your PC. It removed "unused files". Mine cleaned up quite a few - I haven't experienced any issues with the catalog since doing it so hopefully it stays that way. It's probably helpful, but I didn't know what it would do and didn't realize it was going to lock up Chief for a good five minutes or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_S Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Vacuum reduces the size of the User Catalog / Trash on disk to its minimum. It's something you'd probably want to do only occasionally, like after deleting a lot of things from your library. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric, I think Adam was pointing out that it might not be a good idea to try to search for "Vacuum". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha - with the way this new catalog works you'd probably think that! ha ha. Actually, I tend use the right click 'show in catalog' feature a lot - saw 'vacuum' as an option and though - hmm, what do you do?!.... I found out.
